Capture and review detailed AI Search log messages for a user session.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

When you enable session debugging for AI Search in a user session, the system records debug log messages for that session. These messages include:

* Messages illustrating how AI Search interprets a user's search query
* Messages specifying the search source filters and content security filters applied to a search query
* Messages containing search query request and response objects in human-readable format
{#session-debugging-ais__ul_n3p_5d4_1tb}You can review these debug log messages to diagnose search issues or configure optimal search performance settings.

After enabled, session debugging remains active for the user session until you disable it. For more information on session debugging, see [Session debug](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_SessionDebug&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US).
