Appendix B: Diagnostics Objects
This section details the information that is enabled by adding a diagnostics object
to a service object. Figure 24 diagrams the structure of this status information.
Because this 16-byte structure resides in the database at a user-designated
location, it can be accessed from any supported network or protocol in order to
continuously determine the health and performance of the corresponding service
object.
