Pulse Command

The command henry pulse runs a number of tests that help determine the overall instance health. A healthy Looker instance should pass all the tests. Below is a list of tests currently implemented.

Connection Checks

Runs specific tests for each connection to make sure the connection is in working order. If any tests fail, the output will show which tests passed or failed for that particular connection. Example:

+------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Connection       | Status                                                                                               |
|------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| thelook          | -- Failed to create or write to pdt connection registration table tmp.connection_reg_r3 : Connection |
|                  | registration error for thelook: max registrations reached for connection thelook                     |
| assets_analytics | OK                                                                                                   |
| events_ecommerce | OK                                                                                                   |

Legacy Features
