Platform Inspector

The Platform Inspector is a diagnostic tool that verifies whether your ACE environment is configured according to recommended platform configuration guidelines.

The Platform Inspector runs a series of automated validation tests across all nodes in the deployment. These tests verify system configuration, cluster settings, security parameters, and operational settings. Each test returns a pass or fail result, helping you identify configuration issues or deviations from recommended best practices.

Note: The Platform Inspector validates the ASMS platform configuration itself. It does not inspect firewall rules or network policies managed by the system.

Run the Platform Inspector

Do the following:

Open a terminal and log in as root.
Connect to the ASMS Administration interface. For details, see Connect to and Utilize the Administration Interface.
Enter 17 - System Information.
Select 4 - Platform Inspector.

The system runs a set of validation tests and displays the results.

Platform Inspector results

When the Platform Inspector runs, it returns the results of all tests in JSON format.

Each test includes:

An overall pass/fail status
Optional messages
Node-level results for clustered environments

These results help you identify configuration issues and verify that the deployment meets recommended platform guidelines.

The JSON output includes the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
testName	The internal name of the validation test.
displayName	A human-readable description of the test.
passed	Indicates whether the test passed (true) or failed (false).
message	An optional message describing the result or failure reason.
collateNodeResults	Determines whether node results are evaluated collectively across all nodes.
nodeResults	A list of results for each node where the test was executed.
nodeName	The name of the node where the test was executed.
nodeIp	The IP address of the node.
output	Optional command output returned by the test.
