Checks

Checks power the Diagnostics tabs. Each flags the items a saved filter of its kind matches, so its count on the index page links to exactly the list of flagged items.

Manage them under Hub → Settings → Diagnostics with the Manage diagnostic checks permission, in a table per kind: entries, assets, users, entry types, sections, fields and volumes.

  • Failed checks are listed first, most urgent first.
  • Checks of the same severity and passed ones follow the order of the table. Reorder them by dragging.

Hub’s own checks. Each flags the items of the predefined filter of the same name, which is shown in their form but can’t be changed. Their thresholds, like the months after which entries are stale, are those of their filters.

Kind Checks
Entries Unreferenced, stale, with drafts, disabled.
Assets Unreferenced, images without alternative text, large files, oversized images.
Users Locked, admins without two-step verification, idle, pending, suspended, unverified email changes.
Entry types Unused, empty.
Sections Empty.
Fields Unused, empty.
Volumes Empty.

They can’t be deleted. You can disable them right in the table, and give them another severity in their form. Disabled checks are shown and computed nowhere.

Create a check for a kind with:

  • the predefined or custom filter whose items it flags
  • a name, what’s wrong and what to do about it
  • optionally a text shown while it passes
  • a severity and an icon (that of the filter by default)

A filter can’t be deleted while checks flag its items.

  • On the detail pages of items of their kind.
  • Counting flagged items, on the Diagnostics tab of the kind’s index page.
  • Checks of entries are counted on section and entry type pages, and those of assets on volume pages, each linking to the list of flagged items among theirs.
