Use the `diagnostic` command to execute diagnostic scripts provided by Infoblox Technical Support for troubleshooting or customization purposes. If a diagnostic script is required, it is provided by Infoblox as a digitally signed, compressed TAR file to be uploaded to the administrative shell directory (placed by the Admin account only in the admin/Backup folder).

# Syntax

The following is the command syntax:

`diagnostic <file>`

where` <file> `is the name of the diagnostic script file.
