## Troubleshooting
### Debug Mode
To troubleshoot issues with the `[[ entry.meta.module_name ]]` collector, run the `[[ entry.meta.plugin_name ]]` with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
- Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on
your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`.
```bash
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
```
- Switch to the `netdata` user.
```bash
sudo -u netdata -s
```
[% if entry.meta.plugin_name == 'go.d.plugin' %]
- Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
```bash
./go.d.plugin -d -m [[ entry.meta.module_name ]]
```
[% elif entry.meta.plugin_name == 'python.d.plugin' %]
- Run the `python.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
```bash
./python.d.plugin [[ entry.meta.module_name ]] debug trace
```
[% elif entry.meta.plugin_name == 'charts.d.plugin' %]
- Run the `charts.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
```bash
./charts.d.plugin debug 1 [[ entry.meta.module_name ]]
```

### Test Notification
You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration:
```bash
# become user netdata
sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
# enable debugging info on the console
export NETDATA_ALARM_NOTIFY_DEBUG=1
# send test alarms to sysadmin
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test
# send test alarms to any role
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test "ROLE"
```
Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role.
