The Health Debugger

6
Several objects modeled by PlateSpin
show the health of the object or to trigger a job (see
Scheduler," on page 25) upon a state change. This fact can optionally be manually set, or more
usually automatically set through the periodic execution of the health constraint placed on that
object. When such a health constraint is active, you might need to debug to discover the reasons for
the changed state. The Health Debugger is a useful debugging tool.
The Health Debugger is a tabbed page (sometimes called an "admin view") available in several
views of the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client and functions much like the more generic
"Policy Debugger." This tool helps you to determine the reasons for the current Health of a Grid
object. The following figure shows the Health Debugger tab opened in the Resource object view of
the Orchestrate Development Client.

The Health Debugger tab is also available in the VM Host object view, the Repository object view
and in the User object view of the Orchestrate Development Client.
