# How can we check if the Content Optimizer data is sent properly?

To verify whether the Content Optimizer data is sent correctly, follow these steps:

## 1. Ensure that the test device is added

Before checking the logs, make sure your device is registered as a test device. You can [add a test device](https://academy.insiderone.com/docs/adding-a-test-device-on-mobile-app) using a QR code or Email via the test device settings.

## 2. Check the session stop request

Content Optimizer data is included in the session stop request. You should see an object similar to the one shown below inside the stop request.

```none
You should see an object similar to the following inside the stop request:
"content_variables": {
    "variableName": {
        "data_class": 0,
        "data_type": 1,
        "default_value": "defaultValue",
        "variable_name": "variableName"
    }
}
```

If you do not see the "content_variables" key or the expected data inside it, this may indicate that:

- The variable is not set correctly.
- The related content method has not been triggered.

## 3. Check logs for verification

#### For iOS:

- Use Xcode Console to monitor logs. Connect your test device. Open **Xcode** → **Devices** & **Simulators** → Select your device. Run the app and filter logs related to the session stop request.
- Alternatively, use the Console application on Mac to capture logs. Open the Console app and connect your device. Search for the related logs by filtering for session stop request events.

#### For Android:

- Use Android Studio Logcat.
- Connect your test device and launch the app.
- Open Android Studio → Logcat.
- Filter logs using keywords like "content_variables" or "session stop request".

By following these steps, you can confirm whether the Content Optimizer data is sent properly and troubleshoot any missing data.
