Options and syntax

Note

The collector should be stopped before running any of the history_index commands.

check activeif	Checks for active flows based on interface details and returns the last timestamp and number of interfaces that received flows
check collectorclass <CLASS> <SUBSYSTEM>	Returns running state details for the specified collector CLASS or, if provided, the specified SUBSYSTEM of that class This command is used by Plixer Technical Support for troubleshooting.
check data_last_written	Returns activity details for collected flow data written to the database
check dist_info	Returns distributed cluster configuration details for the Plixer Scrutinizer server
check hdtest <TRIES>	Tests hard drive performance by running a write-delete operation either 10 times (default) or, if provided, the number of times specified by the TRIES parameter and returns details for the amount of time taken
check heartbeat [database|api]	Test and returns information on internal communications with the specified resource type
check history_index	Checks the history index and returns historical activity information for the 1m interval aggregation table
check history_index_empty_tables	Checks the history index and returns a list of tables with zero rows (collector should be stopped first) To delete empty tables, use the delete command instead.
check history_index_orphans	Checks the history index and returns a list of entries for which a table does not actually exist To delete orphan entries, use the delete command instead.
check history_index_table_orphans	Checks the history index and returns a list of tables that do not have a history index entry (collector should be stopped first) To delete orphan tables, use the delete command instead.
check interfaces [all|cisco|sonicwall|huawei] <HOST_IP>	Uses alternative methods to retrieve interface descriptions (SNMP for Huawei and NetFlow data for Cisco and SonicWall) on the specified HOST_IP This operation leverages NetFlow data for Cisco and SonicWall devices. Checking Huawei devices relies on SNMP and referencing their vendor-specific MIBs instead.
check license	Returns license details for the Plixer Scrutinizer server
check machine_id	Returns the current Machine ID of the Plixer Scrutinizer server
check machine_id_list	Returns all previous, current, and possible Machine IDs for the Plixer Scrutinizer server
check rollcall	Checks the current states of data roll-up time buckets and returns a list of states and record counts by bucket
check rollups	Checks the current states of all data roll-ups and returns a list of roll-up counts by status
check route <DEVICE_IP>	Checks the specified DEVICE_IP to determine if its routing data is accessible and returns the result
check simplercv <UDP_PORT>	Checks for UDP traffic on the specified <UDP_PORT>. This command can be used to verify that flows are being received at the top of the stack (i.e., tcpdump -> collector).
check snmp	Attempts to get SysObjectID for all devices and returns the credential object if successful (or an error if the attempt failed)
check ssl	Returns the current settings for SSL parameter To enable/disable SSL or edit the configuration, use the set ssl command.
check stats_exporters	Returns an exporter activity time log
check task [TASK_ID]	Returns a list of execution times and error codes for the specified TASK_ID For a list of all task IDs, use the show task command.
check tuning	Checks the current system configuration and returns a list of settings that can be modified to improve performance
