dbus-monitor − debug probe to print message bus messages
dbus-monitor [−−system | −−session]
The dbus-monitor command is used to monitor messages going through a D-BUS message bus. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about the big picture.
There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus (installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in). The −−system and −−session options direct dbus-monitor to monitor the system or session buses respectively. If neither is specified, dbus-monitor monitors the session bus.
The message bus configuration may keep dbus-monitor from seeing all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.
--system
Monitor the system message bus.
--session
Monitor the session message bus. (This is the default.)
