Is this still true? I've set devMode in my general config file (one environment, nothing special) and disabled all plugins, but still don't see any information in the browser's console.

<p>Im only recently noticed that sites with devMode turned on add some helpful information about queries and other logs into the console. </p>

<p>See this screenshot:</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/IqTNr.png" alt="-11-09%2018.55.38.png"></p>

<p>but im also noticing that some of our sites that also have devMode turned on locally arent showing the console log information?  I cant seem to figure out what else needs to be on to get this output to show up?</p>

<p>related to this is there anyway to add more grouping to the "logs" group to mirror the exiting log folder (ie. give plugins their own group of logs)</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

You can enable debugging information by going to your user's account preferences and turning on the "Debug Toolbar" for all control panel requests, front-end requests, or both. That will place a nice GUI toolbar across the bottom of the web page so you don't have to view the browser's console to see the output like you did in Craft 2.

**Craft 2**

All that's required for the logging and profiling information to show up in the browser's console is that [devMode](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#devMode) is enabled.

If it's not showing up then, then either you're enabling it in the wrong place in a multi-environment config or you've got a plugin that's [explicitly removing the logging routes](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/489/57).
