What is the best way to debug an Ohai plugin on chef. 'ohai' command gets the data for all the plugins. Is there a command to debug a single Ohai plugin?

You can run just your plugin via ohai $pluginname on the command line. You can also use -l debug to turn up the logging level. From inside your code, use Ohai::Log.debug('your message') .
