What is the Diagnostic Framework?
The Application Server Diagnostic Framework is a monitoring framework that denes and
implements a set of services that run within the application server standard life cycle. With the
Diagnostic Service, you can dene, create, collect, and access diagnostic data generated by a
running server and the applications it deploys.
Diagnostic Service Framework
The diagnostic service reports conguration details for the application server instances. It is
useful for diagnosing application server problems such as exceptions, performance issues, and
other unexpected results. From within the Admin Console Diagnostic Service you can:
■
Compute Checksum: Collects checksum for selective Application Server binary les under
appserver_install_dir/ lib, appserver_install_dir/etc and
appserver_install_dir/bin directory
■
Verify Conguration: Captures conguration les such as, domain.xml, server.policy.
■
Capture Install Log: Installation specic details such as Application Server version number
or patch ID and contents of log le generated at the time of installation. Absolute path for
installation directory is used to determine which Installer log le is collected if there are
multiple installations on the same machine. The contents of config/asenv.conf is copied
from the installation folder for DAS as well as node agents.
