Debugging Subscriptions

Overview

Debugging subscriptions are displayed in Polkadot Live if the Show Debugging Subscriptions setting is enabled within the settings window. The goal of enabling a debugging subscription is to confirm that your system is able to connect to a blockchain network, subscribe to its latest blocks, and display appropriate event items.

Refer to the Debugging Subscriptions documentation to discover which debugging subscriptions are provided.

User Interface

Debugging subscriptions can only be toggled on or off. When turned on, an event item is rendered under the main window's Events tab when a new block is received from the subscription's respective blockchain network. Note that native OS notifications are not enabled for debugging subscriptions.
