+title: Debugging Client Requests to GraphOS Router
+subtitle: Options for analyzing and debugging incoming requests
+description: Learn how to use GraphOS router telemetry and GraphOS Insights to inspect and debug incoming HTTP client requests.
+context:
+  - telemetry
+---
+
+By default, the GraphOS Router operates [without generating HTTP request logs or exporting telemetry metrics beyond what it sends to GraphOS](/graphos/routing/observability).
+This default minimizes potentially high observability costs that can result from high request volumes.
+If you need more data than the default [GraphOS Insights](/graphos/platform/insights), you can configure your router to collect and export additional telemetry.
+
+## Using GraphOS Insights
+
+GraphOS Studio lets you analyze data from failed requests, such as GraphQL error messages ([if enabled](/graphos/routing/graphos-reporting#errors)) and the ID of the client making the request. You can also [segment your insights data](/graphos/platform/insights/client-segmentation) based on the client ID.
+
+<Tip>
+
+[Learn how to ensure client IDs are included in all requests.](/graphos/routing/observability/client-id-enforcement)
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Enabling additional telemetry
+
+You can instrument [router telemetry](/graphos/routing/observability/telemetry) if you need information outside of what's presented in GraphOS Studio to debug client requests.
+
+<Note>
+
+If you want to debug client requests in your own environment, Apollo recommends first doing so in a non-production environment or using logic to debug on a per-request basis.
+
+</Note>
+
+### Logging requests
+
+You can conditionally include request bodies, including GraphQL operations, in your telemetry based on specific [conditions](/graphos/reference/router/telemetry/instrumentation/conditions). Apply these conditions on a router request [event](/graphos/reference/router/telemetry/instrumentation/events) like so:
+
+```yaml title="router.yaml"
+telemetry:
+  instrumentation:
+    events:
+      router:
+        request:
+          level: info
+          condition: # Only log the router request if you sent `x-log-request` with the value `enabled`
+            eq:
+            - request_header: x-log-request
+            - "enabled"
+```
+
+### Debugging router logs
+
+By default, the router uses the `info` level for its logging. [Enabling other logging levels](/graphos/reference/router/telemetry/log-exporters/overview) can help debug specific scenarios. Using non-`info` level configurations is only recommended for local or non-production environments.
+
+## Rhai scripts and coprocessors
+
+Hooking into the router service layer with either [Rhai scripts](/graphos/routing/customization/rhai) or [coprocessors](/graphos/routing/customization/coprocessor) gives you access to the full HTTP request before processing occurs. You can use either Rhai scripts or coprocessors to add custom logic for what to log and when.
+
+See the Apollo Solutions ["Hello World" coprocessor](https://github.com/apollosolutions/example-coprocessor-helloworld) for an example of a coprocessor that simply logs the router's payload.
+
+<SolutionsNote />
+
+## Alternative cloud services
+
+If you are deploying the router to a cloud service, you likely already have access to the raw HTTP logs through other services like load balancers. You should be able to find specific client request logs for a particular operation using the operation hash or trace ID. Refer to the docs for your cloud providers for more information.
