+# `tokio-console` support
+
+`tokio-console` is a diagnostics and debugging tool for asynchronous Rust programs. This tool can be
+useful to lint runtime behavior, collect diagnostic data from processes, and debugging performance
+issues. ["it's like top(1) for tasks!"][top]
+
+### Setup
+
+Support for `tokio-console` is not enabled by default for zebrad. To activate this feature, run:
+ ```sh
+ $ RUSTFLAGS="--cfg tokio_unstable" cargo build --no-default-features --features="tokio-console" --bin zebrad
+ ```
+
+Install [`tokio-console`][install].
+
+Then start `zebrad` however you wish.
+
+When `zebrad` is running, run:
+```
+$ tokio-console
+```
+
+The default options are used, so `tokio-console` should connect to the running `zebrad` without other configuration.
