30.1. Healthcheck in IdM
The Healthcheck tool in Identity Management (IdM) helps find issues that may impact the health of your IdM environment.
The Healthcheck tool is a command line tool that can be used without Kerberos authentication.
Modules are Independent
Healthcheck consists of independent modules which test for:
- Replication issues
- Certificate validity
- Certificate Authority infrastructure issues
- IdM and Active Directory trust issues
- Correct file permissions and ownership settings
Two output formats
Healthcheck generates the following outputs, which you can set using the output-type option:
-
json: Machine-readable output in JSON format (default) -
human: Human-readable output
You can specify a different file destination with the --output-file option.
Results
Each Healthcheck module returns one of the following results:
- SUCCESS
- configured as expected
- WARNING
- not an error, but worth keeping an eye on or evaluating
- ERROR
- not configured as expected
- CRITICAL
- not configured as expected, with a high possibility for impact
