System diagnostics helps administrators monitor Microsoft D365FO environments:
- The dashboard provides a visual indication of the number of hosts in the selected environment that encountered errors when running rules and also displays the last five messages.
- It also indicates whether any collector jobs have encountered errors while running.
Only production environments that have been deployed through LCS in a Microsoft Managed Subscription will be actively monitored by the Microsoft Service Engineering team. All other environments, such as Sandbox environments, do not have the monitoring features turned on.
The following screenshot shows a sample system diagnostics dashboard with sections providing brief information about the health of the environment, messages, jobs, detailed reports, and admin functions:
As we can see, the system diagnostics dashboard gives administrators quick insights into the health of the environment in an easy, visual, and actionable way.
