Troubleshooting scrutinize

The troubleshooting advice in this section can help you resolve common issues that you might encounter when using scrutinize.

Collection time is too slow

To speed up collection time, omit system tables when running an instance of scrutinize. Be aware that collecting from fewer nodes does not necessarily speed up the collection process.

Output size is too large

Output size depends on system table size and vertica log size.

To create a smaller scrutinize output, omit some system tables or truncate the vertica log. For more information, see Narrowing the Scope of scrutinize Data Collection.

System tables not collected on databases with password

Running scrutinize on a password-protected database might require you to supply a user name and password:

$ scrutinize -U username -P 'password'
