# Add Trace Flags and Log Levels

To generate debug logs in Web Console, you must add user-specific trace flags and log levels in the `traceLogs.json` file.

1. Hover over the **No Tracing** label on the task bar and select **Create trace flags for the current user** to add a trace flag for your user.

2. The `traceLogs.json` file opens with an added trace flag block for the current user. To change the log level for the current user, click the **Change** text before the `debugLevelName` property.

4. Add log levels.

After the tracing starts, whenever you perform a task on the connected org, a log is generated with trace details. Here's an example.

Logs are pulled by default after every 30 seconds. You can change the log-pull interval in Settings.
