: You can use the `autoops_es_debug.yaml` config file to export and review a sample of the data gathered from your cluster and sent to Elastic Cloud.
: Yes. AutoOps {{agent}} comes bundled with the `autoops_es_debug.yaml` configuration file, which you can use to export and view a sample of the data gathered from your cluster and sent to Elastic Cloud.

Complete the following steps to export this data locally:

1. Follow the steps to [connect to AutoOps](cc-connect-self-managed-to-autoops.md) until you reach the [Install agent](cc-connect-self-managed-to-autoops.md#install-agent) step.
2. In the **Install agent** step, edit the installation command to replace `autoops_es.yml` with `autoops_es_debug.yml` as shown in the following code block. The chosen installation method in this example is Docker.
```json
--restart on-failure --name autoops-otel-agent
docker.elastic.co/elastic-agent/elastic-otel-collector-wolfi:9.1.4
--config otel_samples/autoops_es_debug.yml \
```
3. Run the command.

A sample of the data gathered by the agent will be downloaded to your machine.
