 ## Debugging
 
-Setting an environment parameter (`NODE_DEBUG=request`) will dump the HTTP requests from the client library and responses received to `stderr`.
+Setting an environment parameter (`DEBUG=needle`) will dump the HTTP requests from the client library and responses received to `stderr`.
 
 ```bash
-NODE_DEBUG=request node script.js
+DEBUG=needle node script.js
 ```
 
 This parameter can also be set dynamically at runtime, provided this happens before the `openwhisk` module is required.
 
 ```javascript
-process.env.NODE_DEBUG='request';
+process.env.DEBUG='needle';
 var openwhisk = require('openwhisk');
 ```
