Performance Analytics diagnostics

Identify and diagnose configuration issues using predefined scripts that examine the database for invalid records and provide suggestions to resolve issues.

Each diagnostic consists of a script or database query with a severity code, message text, and suggested solution. Diagnostics are read-only. You cannot create or edit diagnostics.

You can run one or all diagnostics against all applicable records, or you can run all applicable diagnostics against one record.

Warning:

Performance Analytics diagnostics do not apply to Platform Analytics artifacts. For example, an indicator that is not used in any widgets might still be used in a Platform Analytics data visualization, but the diagnostics are not able to recognize that use.

Execute diagnostics for all records

To determine if any configuration issues could impact your Performance Analytics implementation, run diagnostics. You can select whether to run one diagnostic or all diagnostics. The diagnostics examine the subset of Performance Analytics records to which they logically apply.
