+## Query level filters
+
+Every [query](query.md) is automatically tagged with a logging span so that
+you can display all log messages during the execution of the query. For
+example, if you want to log everything during type checking:
+
+```
+RUSTC_LOG=[typeck]
+```
+
+The query arguments are included as a tracing field which means that you can
+filter on the debug display of the arguments. For example, the `typeck` query
+has an argument `key: LocalDefId` of what is being checked. You can use a
+regex to match on that `LocalDefId` to log type checking for a specific
+function:
+
+```
+RUSTC_LOG=[typeck{key=.*name_of_item.*}]
+```
+
+Different queries have different arguments. You can find a list of queries and
+their arguments in
+[`rustc_middle/src/query/mod.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_middle/src/query/mod.rs#L18).

 ## Broad module level filters
 
 You can also use filters similar to the `log` crate's filters, which will enable
