Validate using the snapshot report
Every time a snapshot is generated for a given Application, a report is created in JSON format summarizing the content and other information. This report can help validate your snapshot to ensure that it is coherent. You can find the report in the following location on the Node that was responsible for running the snapshot:
\aip-node-data\common-data\snapshot-report\<application-name>\<application-guid>.<version-guid>.snapshot_YYYYMMDDHHmm.report.json
Delete snapshot if not satisfactory and then regenerate
If the initial snapshot is not satisfactory, delete it - this will remove it from both the Engineering and Health Dashboards. To do so, locate the Application and click it:
Locate the snapshot and then delete it:
Once deleted, you will need to perform any configuration changes that might be necessary and then generate the snapshot again and upload to Health Dashboard, using the icon in the bottom right corner:
