tw_reasoningstatus

The tw_reasoningstatus utility enables you to view the status of the Reasoning service. Typically this utility is used by Customer Support as a troubleshooting tool for investigating possible problems.

Automatic use of tw_reasoningstatus

Reasoning runs the same status check automatically every 15 minutes and outputs the results in the tw_svc_reasoning.log file.

To use the utility, type the following command at the $TIDEWAY/bin/ directory:

tw_reasoningstatus [options]

where options are any of the options described in the following table and the common command line options described in Using command line utilities.

Command Line Option	Description
`--consolidation-status`	Show only the consolidation status.
`--discovery-outposts`	Show only the BMC Discovery Outpost status.
`--discovery-status`	Show only the discovery status
`--waiting, -w`	Lists information for all endpoints which are on hold waiting for information from the discovery of a different endpoint.
`--waiting-full`	Expands the information provided by --waiting to include information about all endpoints being held waiting for discovery. This option is ignored if --waiting is not specified.
`-u, --username=NAME`	Specifies the name of the BMC Discovery user. If no name is specified, BMC Discovery uses the default, system.
