Diagnostics

About the "Diagnostics" sample

By convention, server extensions provide status information by providing a function symbol called Diagnostics. This convention is used by the HMI server's configuration page. If your extension has a Diagnostics symbol, the state information will be shown on the configuration page.

First steps:

• Working with server extensions
• Interacting with a server extension

Example requests

1. Get the current state information of the extension

   Request:

   {
       "requestType": "ReadWrite",
       "commands": [
           {
               "symbol": "Diagnostics.Diagnostics",
               "commandOptions": [ "SendErrorMessage" ]
           }
       ]
   }

   Response:

   {
       "commands": [
           {
               "symbol": "Diagnostics.Diagnostics",
               "readValue": {
                   "cpuUsage": 7.650740623474121,
                   "sinceStartup": "PT42M33.5623363S"
               }
           }
       ]
   }

Examples of state information returned by other extensions

1. Example response of ADS.Diagnostics:

   {
       "symbol": "ADS.Diagnostics",
       "readValue": {
           "runtimes": {
               "PLC1": {
                   "adsApplicationName": "Port_851",
                   "adsProjectCompiledAt": "2021-07-28T12:32:30Z",
                   "adsProjectName": "One",
                   "adsState": "Run",
                   "adsVersion": "3.1.4024",
                   "connectionState": "Good",
                   "deviceName": "TwinCAT System"
               }
           }
       }
   }

2. Example response the server's Diagnostics symbol:

   {
       "symbol": "Diagnostics",
       "readValue": {
