## Remarks

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