Configuration Analysis Tool
The K2 Configuration Analysis Tool is a system analysis tool that will be available after installation of K2. The tool's primary role is to provide visual feedback on the installation status of K2 components, and where errors or warnings are identified, either allow you to repair the associated issue quickly, directly from the configuration analysis tool, or provide a starting point to further troubleshooting.
The Configuration Analysis tool is available only after a K2 installation takes place. It is available under the following circumstances:
- The Setup Manager has detected an error or warning, and runs the tool after the installation completes.
- You use the Start Menu to run the Configuration Analysis tool (no specific user rights are required to run the tool from the desktop).
K2 Server and custom installations may include servers and services that will require configuration and may encounter errors related to permissions, configuration and dependencies. These are the type of errors that the configuration tool was intended to detect and assist in resolving.
The Configuration Analysis tool shown below is used to analyze an installation. Items with errors are flagged by a red X, indicating that this item has not been configured correctly and requires repair. Items that have been installed and configured correctly are indicated by the green validation mark while items with warnings are indicated with the yellow exclamation mark. In all cases more information is supplied in the right-hand pane.
