Here's dbus-monitor out:

dest=:1.46 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; 
interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
    string ":1.46"
method call sender=:1.46 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=3 
path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
    string "eavesdrop=true,type='method_call'"
method call sender=:1.46 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=4 
path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
    string "eavesdrop=true,type='method_return'"
method call sender=:1.46 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=5 
path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
    string "eavesdrop=true,type='error'"
