# `livedebugging`

`livedebugging` is an optional configuration block that enables the [live debugging feature](/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/alloy/troubleshoot/debug), that streams real-time data from your components directly to the Alloy UI.

By default, [live debugging](/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/alloy/troubleshoot/debug) is disabled and must be explicitly enabled through this configuration block to make the debugging data visible in the Alloy UI.

> Note
> 
> The live debugging feature uses the Alloy UI to provide detailed insights into the data flowing through your pipelines. To ensure that your data remains secure while live debugging is enabled, configure TLS in the [http block](/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/alloy/reference/config-blocks/http).
