Question

A Terraform run intermittently fails during apply with a vague provider error, and you suspect the underlying HTTP requests to the cloud provider's API are being rejected. You want to capture detailed logs including the API request and response payloads so you can share them with support. Which approach correctly enables this debugging output?

Accepted Answer

Set the TF_LOG environment variable to a level such as DEBUG or TRACE (optionally with TF_LOG_PATH to write to a file) before running terraform apply.

Answer

Add a debug = true argument inside the provider block and re-run terraform apply.

Answer

Run terraform apply -verbose to stream provider API calls to the console.

Answer

Run terraform refresh to force Terraform to log all API interactions to the state file.
