Performance Analytics Admin Console
From a single console, administrators can manage Platform Analytics Solution content, manage Performance Analytics widgets and dashboards, diagnose and resolve errors, view usage analytics, modify configuration settings and access ServiceNow help.
Important: This admin console does not support Platform Analytics artifacts. It shows information only for Core UI Performance Analytics widgets and responsive dashboards.
Users with the admin or pa_admin roles can navigate to Performance Analytics > Admin Console. If Performance Analytics is not enabled, click Learn More for information about activating it.

The **Troubleshoot** panel enables you to utilize diagnostics delivered by the ServiceNow application to investigate tests that result in an Error warning and failed data collection jobs. Out-of-the-box diagnostics run on a schedule, but can also be executed on demand. The Scheduled Data Collection list filters out jobs that are run only once and jobs that are run only on demand.
**Note:** If either of the numbers on the Troubleshoot card are greater than 0, there may be something wrong with your Performance Analytics implementation.
- Click **Diagnostic Errors** to view the Diagnostic Executions list, a summary of how many diagnostic tests were run, and how many issues were found. Use the **State** field to track which issues have been resolved. For more information on diagnostic executions, see [Analytics Diagnostics](self-diagnostics.md).
- Click **Failed Jobs** to view the Scheduled Data Collection list. A failed job is a scheduled job for which the latest complete run is in the state **collected\_error**. For more information on data collection, see [Performance Analytics data collection and cleanup](c_ClctData.md).
