Diagnostics is an entry point
to XpoLog that is used to better isolate problems in your system.
The results of a diagnostics generation gives the user in one
convenient screen different aspect of the system: logs, reports and
system health. From each of these views you can drill down to
further isolate and analyze the problems surfaced. |
|
- From the 'Main' menu select 'Problem
Diagnostics' to enter the 'Problem Isolation Process' page.
-
In the 'Problem Time Frame' section select 'All
Data' to investigate all your data or enter a valid
date filter. You can define a date
filter in two ways:
selecting the 'Dates limit' option and entering the minimum
and\or maximum date selecting the 'Data' option. in the following
combo box select one of the following options:
- from the last: defines a time interval that starts with the specified
time constraint and stretches until the current time
- from the previous: defines a time interval that contains only the
specified days, weeks or months
- from: defines a time interval the starts in the data specified in
number text field and time unit (in the case of 'days' a
starting hour is required too) and stretches for the time
span defined in the 'for' section of the filter
Only data lying within the given time frame will be taken
into account.
- In the 'Problem Related Search Term' section enter a single
search term or enter a comma separated list of search terms. The
diagnostics result will hold only logs in which the search term
was found
- In the 'Problem Related Applications & Logs' you can further
define specifically which applications (meta
datas), folders and logs should take part in the diagnostics
process. If no application, folder or log is selected, XpoLog
will scan all the logs in your system.
- Click 'go' to run the diagnostics process based on the
setting done in the previous steps.

After clicking the 'go' link in
step 5 of the previous section XpoLog will start generating the
diagnostics results, showing a progress status. When processing
completes, you will be directed to the 'Diagnostics Results' page.
The results page has 3 sections:
- Problem Related Health Summary - a graph showing the
system health of the selected
component and within the given time frame is displayed. Click
the 'Go to System Health Console >>' link to go to the system
health screen, where you can further analyze the result by
isolating selected components, drill down and so on.
- Problem Related Reports - a list of the reports which are
relevant for the problem isolation criteria, both in terms of
the time frame and the selected components (logs and
applications). Click on any of the reports to enter its result
screen.
- Problem Related Applications and Logs - a list of the logs,
grouped by applications, which are relevant to the search
criteria. Click on a log to go to its log view, or select
multiple logs by checking their check boxes and click the 'Merge
selected logs >>' link to get a merged view of these logs.
On the upper right side of the diagnostics results screen there
are two links: 'Modify Process' allows you to modify the criteria of
the problem isolation process, and 'Reset Process' allows you reset
the process and define a new one.
