SiteScope provides tools to help you diagnose problems when they occur. In the future we will add additional tools that help diagnose problems. The tools can be accessed either by clicking on the "more" section of a group's monitor list or by selecting a tool from the Diagnostic Tools page. The Diagnostic Tools page can be accessed using the link in the main SiteScope page (below the main panel). Below are links to information on the current tools:
