Analyze

What is Analyze?

Analyze is an Activity that displays your XO's networking, X (graphical) display, and presence service status. It is useful to developers and end-users as an easy way for users to monitor and submit data for monitoring/debugging networking/X issues.

Installing Analyze

See the section on installing Activities.

Using Analyze

Analyze is a very simple Activity. The only interaction you can have with it is to tell it what interface you want it to display information from.

To select an interface, click on the "Interfaces" tab at top, and then on the appropriate Interface icon (by default, Analyze will start in the Network Status screen). The image below shows, srom left to right, the Network Status, X Server, and Presence Service interface icons.
