Command? Or do you mean that you want to read debug messages? As far as 
I know all the messages, including debug messages, get dumped to the 
systemd journal. In fact, I do not know how not to print debug messages.

But you have to tell leafnode to produce them, editing /etc/leafnode/config:

## The higher, the more output will be logged - note the debugging
## output is copious in any case, so leave this at 0 for normal use,
## and set to 1, 2 or 3 only for debugging.
# debugmode = 3
debugmode = 1

You would use a 3 in this case.
