## Rancher machine debug logs
If you need to troubleshoot the creation of objects in your infrastructure provider of choice, `rancher-machine`
debug logs might be helpful to you.
It's possible to enable debug logs for `rancher-machine` by setting environment variables when launching Rancher.
The `CATTLE_WHITELIST_ENVVARS` environment variable allows users to whitelist specific environment variables to be
passed down to `rancher-machine` during provisioning.
The `MACHINE_DEBUG` variable enables debug logs in `rancher-machine`.
Thus, by setting `MACHINE_DEBUG=true` and adding `MACHINE_DEBUG` to the default list of variables in
`CATTLE_WHITELIST_ENVVARS` (e.g. `CATTLE_WHITELIST_ENVVARS=HTTP_PROXY,HTTPS_PROXY,NO_PROXY,MACHINE_DEBUG`) it is
possible to enable debug logs in `rancher-machine` when provisioning RKE1, RKE2 and k3s clusters.
:::caution
Just like the `trace` log level above, `rancher-machine` debug logs can contain sensitive information.
