# STEAMPIPE_DIAGNOSTIC_LEVEL

Sets the diagnostic level.  Supported levels are `ALL`, `NONE`. By default, the diagnostic level is `NONE`.

## Usage 
```bash
export STEAMPIPE_DIAGNOSTIC_LEVEL=ALL
```

When enabled, diagnostics information will appear in the `_ctx` column for all tables:


```sql
> select jsonb_pretty(_ctx),display_name from aws_sns_topic limit 1

The diagnostics information includes information about each Get, List, and Hydrate function that was called to fetch the row, including:

| Key                     | Description
|-------------------------|---------------------- 
| `type`                  | The type of function (`list`, `get`, or `hydrate`).
| `function_name`         | The name of the function.
| `scope_values`          | A map of scope names to values.  This includes the built-in scopes as well as any matrix qualifier scopes and function tags.
| `rate_limiters`         | A list of the rate limiters that are scoped to the function.
| `rate_limiter_delay_ms` | The amount of time (in milliseconds) that Steampipe waited before calling this function due to client-side (`limiter`) rate limiting.
