Diagnostics using a diagnostic engine core and diagnostic modules

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a system to:

• load a diagnostic engine core;
• access, by the diagnostic engine core, configuration information comprising identifiers of diagnostic modules and an identifier of an interface module;
• based on the identifier of the interface module in the configuration information, dynamically load, at runtime of the diagnostic engine core, the interface module into a memory;
• select, by the diagnostic engine core, the diagnostic modules from a plurality of diagnostic modules based on the identifiers of the diagnostic modules in the configuration information;
• generate, by the diagnostic engine core, a representation of a relationship of the selected diagnostic modules;
• dynamically load, by the diagnostic engine core, the selected diagnostic modules at the runtime of the diagnostic engine core into the memory;
• after the loading of the interface module and the selected diagnostic modules, trigger execution of the selected diagnostic modules in an execution order and according to dependencies specified in the representation of the relationship of the selected diagnostic modules, the selected diagnostic modules when executed performing diagnostics on a collection of compute elements;
• and
• send, by the diagnostic engine core to the interface module, diagnostic information from the selected diagnostic modules for evaluation of the diagnostic information by an output system connected to the interface module.

A method comprising:

• for performing diagnostics on a collection of compute elements, loading a diagnostic engine core;
• accessing, by the diagnostic engine core, configuration information comprising identifiers of diagnostic modules and an identifier of an interface module, wherein the configuration information comprises scheduling indicators of an execution order of the diagnostic modules;
• based on the identifier of the interface module in the configuration information, dynamically loading, at runtime of the diagnostic engine core, the interface module into a memory;
• selecting, by the diagnostic engine core, the diagnostic modules from a plurality of diagnostic modules based on the identifiers of the diagnostic modules in the configuration information;
• generating, by the diagnostic engine core, a representation of a relationship of the selected diagnostic modules based on the scheduling indicators in the configuration information, the relationship comprising the execution order and dependencies of the selected diagnostic modules;
• dynamically loading, by the diagnostic engine core, the selected diagnostic modules at the runtime of the diagnostic engine core into the memory;
• after the loading of the interface module and the selected diagnostic modules, triggering execution of the selected diagnostic modules in the execution order and according to the dependencies specified in the representation, the selected diagnostic modules when executed performing the diagnostics on the collection of compute elements;
• and
• sending, by the diagnostic engine core to the interface module, diagnostic information from the selected diagnostic modules for evaluation of the diagnostic information by an output system connected to the interface module.
