* Package name : ros-diagnostics Version : 1.9.3 Upstream Author : Open Source Robotics Foundation * URL : https://wiki.ros.org/diagnostics * License : BSD Programming Lang: C++ Description : Robot Operating System (ROS) stack for collecting, publishing, analyzing and viewing diagnostics data The diagnostics system is designed to collect information from hardware drivers and robot hardware to users and operators for analysis, troubleshooting, and logging. The diagnostics stack contains tools for collecting, publishing, analyzing and viewing diagnostics data. The diagnostics toolchain is built around the /diagnostics topic. On this topic, hardware drivers and devices publish diagnostic_msgs/DiagnosticArray messages with the device names, status and specific data points. The diagnostic_updater and self_test packages allow nodes to collect and publish diagnostics data. The diagnostic_aggregator can categorize and analyze diagnostics at runtime. Operators and developers can view the diagnostics data using the rqt_robot_monitor package. The diagnostic_analysis package can convert diagnostics logs to CSV files for examination and after-the-fact analysis. The package will be maintained under the science team umbrella.
