-#level=DEBUG
+# When debugging NetworkManager, enabling debug logging is of great help.
+#
+# Logfiles contain no passwords and little sensitive information. But please
+# check before posting the file online. You can also personally hand over the
+# logfile to a NM developer to treat it confidential. Meet us on #nm on freenode.
+# Please post full logfiles except minimal modifications of private data.
+#
+# You can also change the log-level at runtime via
+# $ nmcli general logging level TRACE domains ALL
+# However, usually it's cleaner to enable debug logging
+# in the configuration and restart NetworkManager so that
+# debug logging is enabled from the start.
+#
+# You will find the logfiles in syslog, for example via
+# $ journalctl -u NetworkManager
+#
+#level=TRACE
