Platform Diagnostics overview
Platform Diagnostics is a hardware diagnostic utility that you can run from the host of an F5® platform, without requiring a reboot into the End-User Diagnostic (EUD). The Platform Diagnostics utility tests hardware components, such as the hardware accelerator, hard drives, and PCI devices. You should run the EUD only when you are advised to do so by your F5 Support representative.
When you run Platform Diagnostics, it produces two log files that contain verbose debug information:
- /var/log/platform_check
- /var/log/platform_diag
You can find test results in QKView and BIG-IP® iHealth®.
