Details

The command launches a tmux session that will intercept matching hooks and/or actions.

Initially, the tmux session will take you to ‘/var/lib/juju’ or ‘/home/ubuntu’. As soon as a matching hook or action is fired, the tmux session will automatically navigate you to ‘/var/lib/juju/agents/<unit-id>/charm’ with a properly configured environment. Unlike the ‘juju debug-code’ command, the fired hooks and/or actions are not executed directly; instead, the user needs to manually run the dispatch script inside the charm’s directory.

For more details on debugging charm code, see the charm SDK documentation.

Valid unit identifiers are: a standard unit ID, such as mysql/0 or; leader syntax of the form <application>/leader, such as mysql/leader.

If no hook or action is specified, all hooks and actions will be intercepted.

See the “juju help ssh” for information about SSH related options accepted by the debug-hooks command.
