Description

Look 

Start menu

With this application, you can view gathered collector information, including every group in collector input queues, or specified groups. Other queues that Look displays are timer queues, policy registration queues, and agent registration queues. For easy viewing, choose a text file output of the information. Additionally, use Look to view supported metric groups on any platform independent of the platform on which your system runs. For example, you can run Look on Solaris and view supported metric groups for Windows. In addition, detect missing .mt files or view more details for any shared memory problems.

UDRviewer 

(Windows) %BEST1_HOME%\bgs\bin or (Linux) $BEST1_HOME/bgs/bin

Use this application to view UDR data, as well as display the data in various modes. These modes include summarizing spills, intervals, displaying queue headers, testing for data corruption, and displaying computer information for each computer in a repository.
