Downloading the system state

You can download the current system state for a single node or for the whole cluster on the Cluster Management landing page. The system state is provided in a file in JSON format. You can use the file to compare persisted system state information across time, which can be helpful in debugging system problems.

For example, you can track the changes that the system undergoes over time and that eventually lead to system problems. You can later compare different system states over time with the state of a working system (the same system or a different instance) and solve the problem more easily.

To access the Cluster Management landing page and download the system state JSON file, you must have the pzSystemOperationsObserver privilege.

1. Click Designer Studio > System > Operations > Cluster Management.

2. To download the system state for the whole cluster:

   1. Click Download under Cluster state in the System section.

   2. Save or open the JSON file that was generated for the cluster.

   To download the system state for a node:

   1. In the Actions column, click Download node state that corresponds to the node for which you want to see the system state.

   2. Save or open the JSON file that was generated for the node.

You can also download the current system state by using a REST API. For more details, see Downloading the system state by using a REST API.
