DataGrip 2025.1 Help

Database objects list in the database tree is not accurate

Introspection is a process of loading metadata of a database. When you perform introspection, structural information in the data source is inspected to detect tables, columns, routines, and other database objects with their attributes.

Sometimes introspection runs into problems. In case this happens, try to collect troubleshooting data and pass it on to our support team.

To profile the introspection and diagnose possible issues, DataGrip can generate three files that include information about the following:

  • dataSource.txt: the data source.

  • introspector.txt: a module that was used to load the metadata from the database.

  • model.xml: a part of the database model.

This information might be helpful when introspection works incorrectly. For example, when you see something outdated or do not see new objects.

Collect diagnostic info

  1. Right-click a data source and navigate to Diagnostics | Generate Introspector Diagnostic Files.

  2. DataGrip will generate three files with the introspector diagnostic info.
