To access the Discovery Admin Workspace Diagnostics page, navigate to **Workspaces** > **Discovery Admin Workspace** > **Diagnostics**. **Note:** The capabilities described here are available starting with Discovery Admin Workspace v1.17.0. If the **sn\_disco\_workspace.enable\_error\_framework** system property is turned off, the Diagnostics page displays the legacy experience. Specific version requirements are noted for individual features where applicable. \[Omitted image "daw-errors-diagnostics.png"\] Alt text: Discovery Admin Workspace Diagnostics page ## Errors The Errors tab displays all Discovery errors grouped by refined code. Each error card shows the refined code, occurrence count, category, and domain. Use this tab to identify high-impact errors and trigger resolution actions. Use the **Filter by** options to prioritize the error list by Severity and Category. Selecting the **Domain** drop-down enables you to filter errors based on a specific domain. You can filter the list of errors using the **Search** \(\[Omitted image "daw-search-icon.png"\]\) icon. Use the **Sort by** drop-down menu to organize the results by Refined Code, Category, Severity, and Occurrences in either ascending or descending order. - **Refined Codes** A refined code is a unique code assigned to every actionable error generated by Discovery. The refined code identifies the error type and recommends the appropriate remediation. Refined codes use the SN-DISC format. Select an error card or the **Occurrences** link within an error card to open the Error Details page. The page displays the root cause, remediation steps, and available actions for that refined code. For more information, see [Discovery Admin Workspace Error Details](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/daw-error-details.md). - **AI Insights** The Errors tab includes an AI Insights panel powered by ServiceNow Otto for Error Framework. The panel analyzes your current Discovery errors and surfaces the following: - **Highest-impact errors**: Errors that are affecting the most devices or schedules. - **Highest-leverage errors**: Errors where resolving a single instance clears the largest number of occurrences. Each insight includes a summary of affected schedules and devices, and recommended remediation steps. Select an error code link in the panel to navigate directly to that error. **Note:** ServiceNow Otto for Error Framework \(com.sn\_ef\_gen\_ai\) is available starting with Australia Patch 3 and requires the ServiceNow Otto for Platform \(sn\_genai\_platform\) plugin. If the plugin is not enabled, the panel displays a prompt to enable it. For more information about how the Error Framework works, see [Error Framework in Discovery Admin Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/error-framework-daw.md). ## Anomaly detection The Anomaly detection tab displays all of the Discovery schedules with anomalies detected in a certain time period. You can configure this time scale on the [Settings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/discovery-admin-workspace-setup.md) page. **Important:** This tab only displays anomalies when anomaly detection is enabled. Starting with v1.11.0, anomaly detection requires a minimum of five CIs to trigger. For more information, see the [Skip Anomaly Detection for small schedules](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2601541) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base. Select the **More Options** icon \(\[Omitted image "icon-menu-sow.png"\]\), then select **Refresh** to refresh the data for each visualization in this section.
Report title Type Description
Schedules with anomalies Indicator Number of Discovery schedules with anomalies detected over a certain time period. Schedules are categorized as the following:- Critical anomalies: Failed to run. - Major anomalies: Have a low CI discovery rate. - Minor anomalies: Have a long run time or a high error count.
Failed schedules Indicator Number of Discovery schedules that failed to run.
Low CI discovery rate Indicator Number of Discovery schedules that have a low CI discovery rate.**Note:** The threshold for the CI discovery rate can be configured on the Settings page.
Increased error count Indicator Number of Discovery schedules that have an increased error count.**Note:** The threshold for the error count can be configured on the Settings page.
Long run time Indicator Number of Discovery schedules that had a long run time.**Note:** The threshold for the run time can be configured on the Settings page.
Selecting any of the indicators filters the table to reflect the schedules represented in the data count. For each entry in the table, you can view details around the type and severity of anomalies. The **Actions** drop-down menu provides a direct shortcut to the Settings page for configuring anomaly detection. Additionally, the menu includes a **Clear all anomalies** option so that administrators can quickly remove records in the Discovery Schedule Anomaly \[discovery\_schedule\_anomaly\] and Discovery Schedule Anomaly Metrics \[discovery\_schedule\_anomaly\_metrics\] tables. Use the **Filter by** options to prioritize and address anomalies. Filter Discovery schedules by name using the **Schedules** drop-down menu. Additionally, you can prioritize the results with the **Severity** drop-down menu, which includes options such as Critical, Major, and Minor. Use the **Anomaly type** drop-down menu to quickly view schedules with the same anomaly. Available options include Failed schedule, Low CI discovery rate, Increased error count, and Long run time.
