Diagnostics

The diagnostics file is a JSON file with information about your instance. This file is particularly helpful when you want to report a HACS issue via the issue tracker on GitHub. The diagnostics file provides context and helps people understand your setup.

To get the diagnostics file for HACS, follow these steps:

  1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings > Devices & services.
  2. Select the HACS integration.
  3. Select the three-dots () menu, then select Download diagnostics.

    • This downloads a .json file to the computer you are doing this from (usually into the downloads directory).
    • This file can be dragged into GitHub issues.
