The Script Debugger interface displays information about breakpoints
set, the call stack and line number of the currently executing script line,

details about variables and
transactions,
and status of console.

| User interface element | Description |
|-|-|
| Breakpoints | Displays a list of the breakpoints set by script type, script name, and line number. The debugger updates this list as you add and remove breakpoints. |
| Call stack | Displays a list of script calls that preceded or invoked the current line number. This information is only visible when the debugger pauses on a breakpoint. |
| Transaction details | Displays information about the current transaction. This information is only visible when the debugger pauses on a breakpoint. |
| Status | Displays if the debugger is waiting for a breakpoint, paused on a breakpoint, or has encountered an exception. |
| User | Displays the name of the user who is running the current debugger session. |
| Coding pane header | Displays the script type and name of the script in the coding pane. |
| Breakpoint icon | Indicates the line number where the debugger pauses when evaluating the current script. |
| Pause debugging button | Stops any current debugging session, and disables the Script Debugger for the current user. The Script Debugger doesn't pause on breakpoints for the current user until it's restarted. |
| Console | Displays a command line interface used for evaluating expressions during runtime. The console is available only when the script execution is paused. |
| Resume script execution button | Advances from the current breakpoint to the next breakpoint. If there are no other breakpoints, the script runs to completion. |
| Step over next function call button | Advances past the method that's about to be called, executing the method as a single step. |
| Step into next function call | Advances to the first line of executed code within a method call. Stepping into a method updates the current position within the call stack. If the user doesn't have read access to the method call, then this control acts like step over instead. |
| Step out of current function | Exits from current method call and returns to the calling script from the call stack. If the user isn't within a method call, then this control acts like step over instead. |
| Local | Displays a list of local scope JavaScript variable names and their values. This information is only visible when the debugger pauses on a breakpoint. |
| Closures | Displays a list of global scope JavaScript variable names and their values set by function closure. This information is only visible when the debugger pauses on a breakpoint. |
| Global | Displays a list of global scope JavaScript variable names and their values. This information is only visible when the debugger pauses on a breakpoint. |

Figure 3. Session log {#parts-script-debugger-interface__table_ryj_jqw_jhb__entry__2}

| User interface element | Description |
|-|-|
| Transactions | Transaction ID. Displays information about the current transaction. |
| Filter for log text | Field to enter text to filter the logs that contain a specific text. |
| Debug Output | Option to filter logs based on the dynamically loaded debug output types. For example, Security Rule. |
| Apps | Option to filter logs based on the dynamically loaded apps. For example, Service Management Integrations. |
| Message Type | Option to filter logs based on the dynamically log levels. For example, Info. |
| Clear log | Clears all logs. |
| Download log | Download the logs in HTML file format. |
| Settings | Session debug options. For information about the debug options, see [Session debug](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8k18zdh9KPMl3E~YPSCKhQ#c_SessionDebug "Enable session debugging to display debugging messages in the user interface."). |
