Diagnostic Views#

The Diagnostic Views feature provides access to a set of internal database views that expose raw system and platform data for advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics. These views are intended for use by administrators and support personnel only for investigating system behavior or performance issues.

Accessing Diagnostic Views#

  1. Click Admin in the Scrutinizer web UI to open the Admin Menu tray.

  2. Type diag in the search field.

  3. Click Diagnostic Views in the search results.

This opens the main Diagnostic Views page, which lists all available diagnostic views in a tabular format with the following columns:

Column

Description

View Name

The internal name of the diagnostic view. Click the name to open the view and display its data.

View Description

A human-readable label describing the data the view contains.

SQL View

The underlying database view queried by this diagnostic view (e.g., plixer.access, snmp.vw_devices).

View Details

Click the icon to expand a panel showing the column configuration (in JSON format) used to render the view.

Viewing Diagnostic Data#

Clicking a view name in the main Diagnostic Views page displays the corresponding raw data of that view in real time. The SQL query for that view is executed with each page load.

Filtering options#

Clicking the Filters button opens a tray where one or more filters can be manually configured by View Name, View Description, or SQL View.

To apply a filter, expand the filter option/section, and select the criteria to use. Multiple options and criteria can be applied at the same time.

Vitals LEDs#

Two notification LEDs for system vitals are persistent across all admin pages/views and can be used to monitor the general health of the Scrutinizer environment.

These LEDs correspond to the following system components/functions, from left to right:

Hovering over an LED will display additional details related to the component’s current status.
