The debug output would still be useful.  You can see what output it prints
when connecting to an idle Director to get an idea of what to look for in the
busy output.

If you set the Director's debug level using

setdebug director level=100 trace=1

then it will be written to a .trace file (rather than being dumped to the
console).
