View the run time state data or configuring the state data collection specifications for a Diagnostic Provider
Use the admin console to navigate to the state data that can be used to check the health of a server runtime component, or we can configure the state data to be collected for a server. You must have sufficient authority to execute the action.
In the server selection topology section, use the view state data radio button to go to the list of registered diagnostic providers. Use the change state data collection spec radio button to modify the state collection spec for the runtime components for a server. Runtime components that have associated diagnostic providers can include their Diagnostic Provider ID (DPID) in their log entries. If we know the DPID, we can enter it directly in the quick link text box.
- Start the administration console.
- Select Troubleshooting.
- Select Diagnostic Provider.
- Select State Data.
- Select the View State Data radio button to simply look at the state data, or select the Change state data collection specification radio button to change the configuration.
- Either directly enter a Diagnostic Provider ID in the Quick link using diagnostic provider ID text box, or select a process (cluster / node / server) from the available processes displayed at the bottom of the panel.
- If we chose the View State Data radio button, a panel listing the available Diagnostic Providers appears. Choose one of the providers by clicking on it. A panel displaying the state data appears.
- If we chose the Change state data collection specification radio button, a panel appears that contains a list of the available Diagnostic Providers and a text entry block. The state collection spec for the selected process is managed from this panel. Select one of the available providers by using the checkbox next to it.
