Field Kit / Getting started

How to use it โ€” 60 seconds

No login, no install, nothing to learn. Open a tool, paste what you're seeing, follow the tree. Here's the whole thing.

๐ŸŒฟ No login, no pressure. There's nothing to break here and nothing to memorize. Take a breath, open a tool, and follow it one step at a time โ€” it's built to carry the load with you, not add to it.
The one rule: the tool never touches your database. You run the read-only query yourself and paste the output in. It does the thinking; you keep the keys. That's why it's safe to run during an incident and needs no approval.

The four steps

1

Pick your tool

SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or Incident Command โ€” links below, or use the nav up top.

2

Run "this first" โ€” never assume

Each tool opens with a one-line query to confirm your version and OS (e.g. SELECT banner FROM v$version;). The right fix depends on both โ€” don't skip it.

3

Paste an error, or work the tree

Drop an error code (or a chunk of log) into the search / Paste an error box and it classifies it. Or open the Triage tab and answer the questions. One search box finds errors, wait events, branches, and scripts together.

4

Act, then copy the ticket

Run the read-only queries it gives you, make the call, and hit Add to ticket / Copy as ticket. Your triage becomes a paste-ready incident writeup.

The tabs, in one line each

Triage

Symptom โ†’ cause โ†’ the vetted next move. You decide.

Scripts

Copy-paste, read-only diagnostics for "what's happening now."

Reference

The facts you blank on under pressure โ€” what healthy looks like, per version/OS.

Ticket

Turns the triage into a paste-ready writeup.

See a gap? Fix it in 10 seconds

Every tool has a ๐Ÿ’ฌ Feedback button. A check that's missing, a query that's off, a domain you want โ€” it goes straight to the maintainer and becomes part of the kit. You're not filing a complaint; you're contributing.

Why it's safe

Read-only โ€” it only ever SELECTs Offline โ€” zero network calls (check DevTools) Private โ€” your log/ticket stay in your browser Portable โ€” runs from a share, USB, or email

Got a question, or something's missing? Every tool has a ๐Ÿ’ฌ Feedback button โ€” ask, suggest a check, or request a domain. It goes straight to the maintainer. No question is too basic; that's what this is for.
