Using the System Management Console to prepare and download health check reports

Before you begin

You can create health check reports on HCP nodes in a cluster that are running and available.

Procedure

  1. In the top-level menu of the System Management Console, select Monitoring Health Check Reports.

    The Health Check Reports page is displayed.
  2. (Conditional) If you recently prepared health check reports for download and the Download Health Check Reports button is enabled, you can download the reports if desired. Then click Cancel to reinitialize the Prepare Reports for Download pane.

  3. In the Prepare Reports for Download pane:

    1. In the Start Date and End Date fields, enter or select a date range for the reports.

      The default values for these fields is the current day.
    2. (Optional) Enter a comment to include in the manifest.csv file that is included in the reports download archive.

  4. Click Prepare Health Check Reports.

    The HCP system runs a health diagnostic tool on the available system nodes. The tool runs various signatures to collect system health information. You do not need to remain on the Health Check Reports page while the report preparation is in progress.

    After the health diagnostic tool finishes and the reports are prepared, status messages are displayed in the General Node Preparation Status pane in the Status column associated with each node, the checkboxes associated with each node for which the reports were successfully prepared are selected, and the Download Health Check Reports button is enabled.

  5. Complete one of these actions:

    1. To download an archive that contains health check reports for all selected nodes, click Download Health Check Reports.

    2. To download an archive that contains a subset of the prepared reports, select only the checkboxes associated with the nodes for which you want to download reports. Then click Download Health Check Reports.

    The collected data is saved in a .zip archive. A system dialog box opens prompting you to save the file to a designated location.
  6. Save the file.

Next steps

Extract the contents of the .zip archive and the node-specific .tar archives to view the health check reports and manifest.csv file contents.
