Debugging Tools: Development and Debugging Techniques

Introduction

Debugging is an essential skill for any Rippled developer. Whether you're tracking down a subtle transaction processing bug, investigating network connectivity issues, or optimizing performance, having a solid understanding of debugging tools and techniques is critical. The complexity of distributed systems like the XRP Ledger means that effective debugging often requires multiple approaches—from analyzing logs to using debuggers to running controlled experiments.

This deep dive covers the comprehensive toolkit available for debugging Rippled, from basic logging to advanced profiling techniques. You'll learn how to diagnose issues quickly, understand system behavior, and develop confidence in working with the Rippled codebase.

Logging System

Overview

Rippled includes a sophisticated logging system that provides detailed visibility into system behavior. Understanding how to configure and use logging effectively is the foundation of debugging Rippled.

Log Structure

Partitions: Logs are organized by subsystem (partition) Severity Levels: Each log entry has a severity level Timestamps: All logs include precise timestamps Context: Logs include relevant context (account IDs, ledger numbers, etc.)

Severity Levels

From most to least verbose:

trace   - Extremely detailed, every function call
debug   - Detailed debugging information
info    - General informational messages
warning - Warning conditions
error   - Error conditions
fatal   - Fatal errors that cause termination

Usage Guidelines:

Production: Use warning or error to minimize disk I/O
Development: Use debug or trace for active debugging
Investigation: Temporarily enable trace for specific partitions

Log Partitions

Major subsystems have their own partitions:

Ledger              - Ledger operations
LedgerMaster        - Ledger master coordination
Transaction         - Transaction processing
Consensus           - Consensus rounds
Overlay             - P2P networking
Peer                - Individual peer connections
Protocol            - Protocol message handling
RPC                 - RPC request handling
JobQueue            - Job queue operations
NodeObject          - NodeStore operations
Application         - Application lifecycle
OrderBookDB         - Order book database
PathRequest         - Path finding
ValidatorList       - Validator list management
Amendments          - Amendment processing

Configuring Logging

In Configuration File

Edit rippled.cfg:

[rpc_startup]
{ "command": "log_level", "severity": "warning" }
{ "command": "log_level", "partition": "Transaction", "severity": "trace" }
{ "command": "log_level", "partition": "Consensus", "severity": "debug" }

Via RPC Command

Dynamic adjustment without restart:

# Set all partitions to warning
rippled log_level warning

# Set specific partition to trace
rippled log_level Transaction trace

# Set multiple partitions
rippled log_level Consensus debug
rippled log_level Overlay debug
rippled log_level Peer trace

Programmatically

In code:

// Get logger for this partition
beast::Journal j = app_.journal("MyComponent");

// Log at different levels
JLOG(j.trace()) << "Entering function with param: " << param;
JLOG(j.debug()) << "Processing transaction: " << tx.getTransactionID();
JLOG(j.info()) << "Ledger closed: " << ledger.seq();
JLOG(j.warning()) << "Unusual condition detected";
JLOG(j.error()) << "Failed to process: " << error;
JLOG(j.fatal()) << "Critical error, shutting down";

Log File Location

Default Locations:

Linux: /var/log/rippled/debug.log
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/rippled/debug.log
Custom: Set in rippled.cfg:

[debug_logfile]
/path/to/custom/debug.log

Log Rotation

Configure log rotation to prevent disk space issues:

[debug_logfile]
/var/log/rippled/debug.log

# Rotate when file reaches 100MB
# Keep 10 old log files

Using system tools (Linux):

# /etc/logrotate.d/rippled
/var/log/rippled/debug.log {
    daily
    rotate 7
    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
    copytruncate
}

Reading Log Files

Tail Live Logs:

tail -f /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Filter by Partition:

grep "Transaction:" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Filter by Severity:

grep "ERR" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Timestamp Range:

# Logs between specific times
awk '/2025-01-15 10:00/,/2025-01-15 11:00/' /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Common Patterns:

# Find transaction processing
grep "Transaction.*tesSUCCESS" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

# Find consensus rounds
grep "Consensus.*Starting round" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

# Find peer connections
grep "Overlay.*Connected to peer" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

# Find errors
grep -E "ERROR|ERR|Fatal" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Standalone Mode

What is Standalone Mode?

Standalone mode runs Rippled as a single-node network where you have complete control:

No peers: Runs without connecting to other nodes
Manual ledger close: You trigger ledger closes
Deterministic: No network randomness
Fast: No consensus delays
Isolated: Perfect for testing

Starting Standalone Mode

rippled --standalone --conf=/path/to/rippled.cfg

Configuration for Standalone:

[server]
port_rpc_admin_local
port_ws_admin_local

[port_rpc_admin_local]
port = 5005
ip = 127.0.0.1
admin = 127.0.0.1
protocol = http

[port_ws_admin_local]
port = 6006
ip = 127.0.0.1
admin = 127.0.0.1
protocol = ws

# No peer port needed in standalone

[node_db]
type=NuDB
path=/var/lib/rippled/standalone/db

[database_path]
/var/lib/rippled/standalone

Using Standalone Mode

Check Status:

rippled server_info

Look for:

{
  "result": {
    "info": {
      "build_version": "1.9.0",
      "complete_ledgers": "1-5",
      "peers": 0,
      "server_state": "proposing",
      "standalone": true
    }
  }
}

Submit Transaction:

rippled submit '{
  "TransactionType": "Payment",
  "Account": "rN7n7otQDd6FczFgLdlqtyMVrn3HMtthca",
  "Destination": "rLNaPoKeeBjZe2qs6x52yVPZpZ8td4dc6w",
  "Amount": "1000000",
  "Fee": "12",
  "Sequence": 1
}'

Manually Close Ledger:

rippled ledger_accept

This immediately closes the current ledger and advances to the next one.

Check Transaction:

rippled tx <hash>

Standalone Mode Workflow

# 1. Start standalone
rippled --standalone --conf=standalone.cfg

# 2. Fund accounts (in another terminal)
rippled wallet_propose

# 3. Submit transactions
rippled submit <signed_tx>

# 4. Close ledger to include transaction
rippled ledger_accept

# 5. Verify transaction
rippled tx <hash>

# 6. Repeat steps 3-5 as needed

Advantages for Debugging

Deterministic Behavior:

No network randomness
Repeatable tests
Predictable timing

Complete Control:

Manual ledger progression
No unexpected transactions
Isolated environment

Fast Iteration:

Instant ledger closes
No waiting for consensus
Quick test cycles

Safe Experimentation:

Can't affect mainnet
Easy to reset (delete database)
Test dangerous operations safely

#0  NetworkOPs::processTransaction
#1  RPCHandler::doCommand
#2  ...

# Step through
(gdb) next
(gdb) next

# Examine transaction
(gdb) print transaction->getTransactionID()
(gdb) print transaction->getFieldAmount(sfAmount)

# Continue to Payment::doApply
(gdb) continue

# Examine state
(gdb) print account_
(gdb) print ctx_.tx[sfDestination]
(gdb) print view().read(keylet::account(account_))

# Step through payment logic
(gdb) step
(gdb) next

# Check result
(gdb) print result
(gdb) continue

Debugging Consensus

# Set breakpoints in consensus

(gdb) break Consensus::propose
(gdb) break Consensus::peerProposal

# Run
(gdb) run

# When consensus starts
(gdb) print prevLedgerHash
(gdb) print transactions.size()
(gdb) backtrace

# Step through proposal creation
(gdb) step
(gdb) print position_

# Continue to peer proposal handling
(gdb) continue
(gdb) print proposal.position()
(gdb) print peerID

Debugging Crashes

Core Dumps:

Enable core dumps:

ulimit -c unlimited

Run program until crash:

./rippled --standalone --conf=standalone.cfg
# ... crash occurs

Analyze core dump:

gdb ./rippled core
(gdb) backtrace
(gdb) frame 0
(gdb) info locals

Common Crash Patterns:

# Null pointer dereference
(gdb) print pointer
$1 = 0x0
(gdb) backtrace
# Look for where pointer should have been set

# Segmentation fault
(gdb) print array[index]
# Check if index is out of bounds

# Assert failure
(gdb) backtrace
# Look at assertion condition and surrounding code

        // Verify result
        BEAST_EXPECT(env.balance(bob) == XRP(10100));
    }
    
    void run() override
    {
        testBasicOperation();
    }
};

BEAST_DEFINE_TESTSUITE(MyTest, app, ripple);

} // namespace test
} // namespace ripple

Integration Testing

Test Network Setup:

# Start multiple rippled instances
./rippled --conf=node1.cfg &
./rippled --conf=node2.cfg &
./rippled --conf=node3.cfg &

# Configure them to peer
rippled --conf=node1.cfg connect localhost:51236
rippled --conf=node2.cfg connect localhost:51237

Test Scenarios:

Multi-node consensus
Network partitions
Peer discovery
Transaction propagation

Common Debugging Scenarios

Scenario 1: Transaction Not Validating

Symptoms: Transaction stuck in pending state

Debug Steps:

Check transaction status:

rippled tx <hash>

Check for sequence gaps:

rippled account_info <account>
# Compare Sequence with expected

Check logs for rejection:

grep "<hash>" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Verify fee is sufficient:

rippled server_info | grep "load_factor"
# Fee should be baseFee * loadFactor

Check LastLedgerSequence:

rippled ledger_current
# Compare with transaction's LastLedgerSequence

Scenario 2: Consensus Not Progressing

Symptoms: Ledger not closing, network stalled

Debug Steps:

Check validator connectivity:

rippled validators

Examine consensus logs:

rippled log_level Consensus trace
tail -f /var/log/rippled/debug.log | grep Consensus

Check network connectivity:

rippled peers
# Verify connected to enough peers

Look for disputes:

grep "dispute" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Scenario 3: High Memory Usage

Symptoms: Rippled consuming excessive memory

Debug Steps:

Check ledger history:

rippled server_info | grep "complete_ledgers"

Review configuration:

[node_db]
cache_mb=256  # Reduce if too high

Profile memory usage:

valgrind --tool=massif ./rippled --standalone
ms_print massif.out.12345

Check for leaks:

valgrind --leak-check=full ./rippled --standalone

Scenario 4: Slow Ledger Closes

Symptoms: Ledgers taking >5 seconds to close

Debug Steps:

Enable performance logging:

rippled log_level LedgerMaster debug
rippled log_level Transaction debug

Check transaction count:

grep "Applied.*transactions" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Profile CPU usage:

perf record -g ./rippled
perf report

Check database performance:

# Check NodeStore backend performance
grep "NodeStore" /var/log/rippled/debug.log

Hands-On Exercise

Exercise: Debug a Transaction Failure

Objective: Use debugging tools to diagnose and fix a transaction issue.

Part 1: Setup

Step 1: Start standalone mode with detailed logging

# Configure logging
cat > standalone.cfg << EOF
[server]
port_rpc_admin_local

[port_rpc_admin_local]
port = 5005
ip = 127.0.0.1
admin = 127.0.0.1
protocol = http

[node_db]
type=NuDB
path=/tmp/rippled_debug

[database_path]
/tmp/rippled_debug

[rpc_startup]
{ "command": "log_level", "severity": "debug" }
{ "command": "log_level", "partition": "Transaction", "severity": "trace" }
EOF

# Start
rippled --standalone --conf=standalone.cfg

Step 2: Create test scenario with intentional issue

// Create underfunded transaction
const tx = {
  TransactionType: 'Payment',
  Account: 'rN7n7otQDd6FczFgLdlqtyMVrn3HMtthca',
  Destination: 'rLNaPoKeeBjZe2qs6x52yVPZpZ8td4dc6w',
  Amount: '999999999999',  // More than account has
  Fee: '12',
  Sequence: 1
};

Part 2: Debugging Process

Step 3: Submit and observe failure

rippled submit <signed_tx>

Step 4: Examine logs

tail -100 /var/log/rippled/debug.log | grep Transaction

Look for:

Transaction:TRC Preflight check: passed
Transaction:TRC Preclaim check: failed - tecUNFUNDED_PAYMENT
Transaction:DBG Rejected transaction: insufficient funds

Step 5: Verify balance

rippled account_info rN7n7otQDd6FczFgLdlqtyMVrn3HMtthca

Step 6: Calculate required amount

const balance = accountInfo.account_data.Balance;
const reserve = 20000000; // Base reserve
const available = balance - reserve;
console.log(`Available: ${available} drops`);
console.log(`Requested: 999999999999 drops`);
console.log(`Shortfall: ${999999999999 - available} drops`);

Step 7: Fix and resubmit

// Corrected transaction
const fixedTx = {
  ...tx,
  Amount: String(available - 12)  // Account for fee
};

Part 3: Advanced Debugging

Step 8: Debug with GDB

# Recompile with debug symbols
cd rippled/build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make

# Start with GDB
gdb --args ./rippled --standalone --conf=standalone.cfg

Step 9: Set breakpoints

(gdb) break Payment::preclaim
(gdb) run

Step 10: Submit transaction (in another terminal)

rippled submit <signed_tx>

Step 11: Examine state in GDB

# Breakpoint hit
(gdb) print ctx.tx[sfAmount]
(gdb) print (*sleAccount)[sfBalance]
(gdb) print fee
(gdb) print balance < (amount + fee)
# Should be true, causing tecUNFUNDED

(gdb) continue

Analysis Questions

What error code was returned?
- tecUNFUNDED_PAYMENT
At which validation phase did it fail?
- Preclaim (ledger state check)
What was the root cause?
- Insufficient balance for payment + fee + reserve
How would you prevent this in client code?
- Check balance before submitting
- Account for reserve requirements
- Include fee in calculation
What logs helped identify the issue?
- Transaction partition trace logs
- Preclaim failure message
