Hi,
The output of dbg is done on the standard output of the first node. Dbg 
tracer that you have started use the group leader of your orininal node.
If you need to have the output on the second node you can use dbg:n/1 to 
  add all the node where trace pattern have to be activated.

  Start the first node.

$ erl -sname first



$ erl -sname debug
debug@REDACTED> dbg:tracer().
{ok,<XX,XX,XX>}
debug@REDACTED> dbg:n(first@REDACTED).
{ok,first@REDACTED}
debug@REDACTED> dbg:p(all,[c]).
{ok,[{matched,first@REDACTED,33},{matched,debug@REDACTED,34}]}
debug@REDACTED> dbg:tpl(....).


All the output will be done on the node debug@REDACTED
