Collecting Diagnostics: scrutinize Command
The diagnostics tool scrutinize
collects a broad range of information from a Vertica cluster. It also supports a range of options that let you control the amount and type of data that is collected. Collected data can include but is not limited to:
- Host diagnostics and configuration data
-
Run-time state (number of nodes up or down)
- Log files from the installation process, the database, and the administration tools (such as,
vertica.log, dbLog, /opt/vertica/log/adminTools.log
) -
Error messages
-
Database design
- System table information, such as system, resources, workload, and performance
-
Catalog metadata, such as system configuration parameters
- Backup information
Requirements
scrutinize
requires that a cluster be configured to support the Administration Tools utility. If Administration Tools cannot run on the initiating host, then scrutinize
cannot run on that host.
