mddiagnose

MDDIAGNOSE(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MDDIAGNOSE(8)

NAME

     mddiagnose -- gather information to aid in diagnosing Spotlight issues

SYNOPSIS

     mddiagnose -h
     mddiagnose [-f path] [-e path] [-p path] [-n]

DESCRIPTION

     The mddiagnose tool gathers system and Spotlight information in order to assist Apple when investigating issues related to Spotlight. A great
     deal of information is harvested, spanning system state, system and Spotlight details.

   What mddiagnose Collects:
	   o   A spindump of the system
	   o   Several seconds of top output
	   o   Individual samples of mds and mdworker
	   o   Paths for all files used by Spotlight to contain its database on every volume
	   o   All system logs
	   o   All spin and crash reports for the following processes:
		  mds
		  mdworker

	   o   Recent spin and crash reports for the following processes, for all local users:
		  mds
		  mdworker

	   o   The query text and result quality statistics for recent Spotlight searches.  The actual results of the searches are not gathered
	   o   General information about disks and mounted network shares
	   o   The path of the last file indexed by each mdworker process on behalf of Spotlight.  The path of the last file which resulted in a
	       crash of an mdworker process.  In each case, only the path is gathered, not the contents of the file
	   o   Spotlight configuration for each volume currently mounted on your system.  This includes the path and size of all files used inter-
	       nally by Spotlight as well as a listing of paths that are user excluded from indexing
	   o   Comprehensive information about internal state of Spotlight

   What mddiagnose Doesn't Collect:
	   o   No user data is harvested from any volume
	   o   No paths or files found by any search are returned
	   o   No database storage or user files are returned
	   o   No authentication credentials are harvested from the system

OPTIONS

     -h      Print full usage.
     -m      Gather a subset of the normal report.
     -f path Write the diagnostic to the specified path.
     -p path Gather Spotlight permissions and filter information.  Run as owner of that file.

EXIT STATUS

     mddiagnose exits with status 0 if there were no internal errors encountered during the diagnostic, or >0 when an error unrelated to external
     state occurs or unusable input is provided by the user.
