+## Debugging with Node.js' built-in console
+
+One of the fastest ways to gain insight into Gatsby's build process is using the `console` functionality [built into Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/knowledge/getting-started/the-console-module/). This works similar to how you might be used to in the browser.
+
+Adding a `console.log` statement in the sample from above will print the variable into your terminal. There you might notice that `args` contains a lower-cased node variable.
+
+```diff:title=gatsby-node.js
+const { createFilePath } = require("gatsby-source-filesystem")
+
+exports.onCreateNode = args => {
++ console.log(args)
+  const { actions, Node } = args
+  if (Node.internal.type === "MarkdownRemark") {
+    const { createNodeField } = actions
+
+    const value = createFilePath({ node, getNode })
+    createNodeField({
+      name: `slug`,
+      node,
+      value,
+    })
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To read more about Gatsby's build process, check out the differences between [build and runtime](/docs/overview-of-the-gatsby-build-process#build-time-vs-runtime). Generally spoken, Node.js is responsible for building Gatsby pages and therefore its' built-in objects like `console` can be used at build time. At client-side [runtime](/docs/glossary#runtime), the browser's `console.log` API will add messages to the developer tools console.
