## Remarks

The [IXtfDebugMonitorClient](/reference/tools/xtf/xtfdebugmonitor/classes/IXtfDebugMonitorClient/ixtfdebugmonitorclient-xtfdebugmonitor-xbox-microsoft-t) interface will allow you to receive debug output from your game on a development console. After creating the client you can use its [start](/reference/tools/xtf/xtfdebugmonitor/classes/IXtfDebugMonitorClient/methods/start-ixtfdebugmonitorclient-xtfdebugmonitor-xbox-microsoft-m) and [stop](/reference/tools/xtf/xtfdebugmonitor/classes/IXtfDebugMonitorClient/methods/stop-ixtfdebugmonitorclient-xtfdebugmonitor-xbox-microsoft-m) functions to determine when to listen for debug output from the development console. In addition you will want to define an [IXtfDebugMonitorCallback](/reference/tools/xtf/xtfdebugmonitor/classes/IXtfDebugMonitorCallback/ixtfdebugmonitorcallback-xtfdebugmonitor-xbox-microsoft-t) to be called when there is output to be captured from the development console.

## Requirements

**Header:** xtfdebugmonitor.h

**Library:** xtfdebugmonitor.lib

**Supported platforms:** Windows (for XBOX console tools)
