+## Determining the CI configuration
+
+If you want to determine which `config.toml` settings are used in CI for a
+particular job, it is probably easiest to just look at the build log. To do
+this:
+
+1. Go to
+   <https://github.com/rust-lang-ci/rust/actions?query=branch%3Aauto+is%3Asuccess>
+   to find the most recently successful build, and click on it.
+2. Choose the job you are interested in on the left-hand side.
+3. Click on the gear icon and choose "View raw logs"
+4. Search for the string "Configure the build"
+5. All of the build settings are listed below that starting with the
+   `configure:` prefix.
