The need for Network Diagnostics, System Mojave and above.

The Network Utility is still in Mojave but was moved to

System/Library/CoreServices/Applications.

If you feel you need to perform network diagnostics on a daily basis

then there is surely something else going wrong in your set up.

It's my pleasure to reply and to address your concerns: Follow leroydouglas's recommendations.

Several participants of that three year old Discussion made those very same recommendations. Nothing has changed since then. Network Diagnostics is gone and it's not coming back. Refer to many other Discussions regarding the same topic: Network Diagnostics missing - Apple Community to cite one of many.

User to user is exactly where this question belongs,

Incorrect. Apple does not participate on this site.

Hmmm, it was looking for...

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/NetworkDiagnosticsUI.framework/Versions/A/NetworkDiagnosticsUI

But only found..

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/NetworkDiagnosticsUI.framework/Versions/A/NetworkDiagnosticsUI:

With a Colon on the end?

You don't suppose a colon sneaked in where i didn't belong?

Whoot... great work! :)

Greetings,

This applies to ETHERNET and not Wifi.

Reference is made to the System High Sierra oriented message thread,

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8098137?login=true

Although derailed some (by injection of wifi concerns) in it's 7 pages of replies, an excellent procedure

was provided for adding Network Diagnostics back into System High Sierra.

As a System Sierra user, I use Network Diagnostics many times every day to

remedy Mac borne network misbehavior, which I went into detail in another,

unrelated message thread.

Upon doing a test upgrade to System Mojave (on another drive, of course) and carefully following

all the instructions for otherwise enabling it to work normally in System High Sierra, it failed to

work in System Mojave.*

The question that was never answered, on many web pages, pertains to why Apple Computer disallows Network Diagnostics. Presently, Microsoft Windows 10 enjoys Network superiority with their easy to use Network Troubleshooter - a function that went away upon the demise of Network Diagnostics. The "why" was never answered, but the end result is a strong Windows advantage.

Heroic efforts by 3rd party software developers, such as Ethernet Status, by Appyogi Software,

allows for quick observation of whether or not the Mac is using Ethernet (or strayed off to wifi as it sometimes does) and whether or not data is being passed. The remedial portions of Network Diagnostics are still gone, and, unless there is some unknown application out there, and not replicated.

Recommendation for Apple Computer: Either re-enable Network Diagnostics in System Mojave and above, or place the source code (for it) into the Public Domain so that other developers may bring it back.

According to the "Report to Apple" crash report, apparently it's a "Library Missing" error for which I don't know how to resolve. Posting the crash report exceeds limit of this message. Maybe it will appear in "additional Text"

Any advice will be most appreciated.

For some clarity...if you are having an issue

Can you distill this down to a one sentence question ?

What exact Mac?

What exact macOS ?

If it s Apple Feedback you are looking to give: Apple Feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback

or

Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)

Adonsa wrote:

Sure. The exact issue is.... No more Network Diagnostics application above System Sierra.

The one sentence you require: Network Diagnostics is needed in System Mojave and up.

Exact Mac - Late 2013 Mac Pro

Exact MacOs --- System Sierra clean install upgraded to System Mojave

Feedback, Apple or otherwise, was already done in the https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8098137?login=true

Did any Apple employees read the above link? Doubtful.

Phoning Customer Support? What are the odds that my phoning them would cause them to re-enable Network Diagnostics into Systems Mojave and above? What are the odds that they would give me the exact line by line procedure to enable Network Diagnostics in System Mojave? Odds are 1000x better at the slots in Las Vegas.

Am I asking too much?

So what am I requesting? Again, advice on how to enable Network Diagnostics, in System Mojave.

This is a user to user support community— you need to direct your inquiries about Apple policy directly to Apple.

https://getsupport.apple.com/

That is a no on "how enable Network Diagnostic"

As a System Sierra user, I use Network Diagnostics many times every day to remedy Mac borne network misbehavior, which I went into detail in another, unrelated message thread.

It sounds to me you may need to hire a better Network administrator .

You can still use the Network Utility.app if that gets you any closer to your issue(?)

Use the spotlight search " Network Utility.app"

If you have been following the progression of macOS over the years you will notice that Apple has been removing lots of useful pieces from macOS. This is an unfortunate trend that has been occurring for the last ten years. Apple loves their secrets so if there exists any hidden utilities or features most users will not be aware of them. Plus anything you find now may be removed in the next update or upgrade.

Most users realize they must rely on third party utilities or use a Linux PC to monitor network connections for packet captures or if you are a Network administrator, then use the tools provided on the enterprise grade network switches.

Apple does not care about providing useful troubleshooting utilities or logs. Apple has allowed their system logs to degrade into an utterly useless mess. If Apple cannot be bothered to provide useful information in their own system logs why would they provide any specialized utilities that require even more work to develop and support?

I don't understand why you are surprised by the responses here. Your original post wasn't really asking a question that could be answered and even portions of your later posts are mixed. You only asked for advice. You were told by several respected forum contributors that the functionality you are looking for no longer exists (or if it does still exist they are unaware of it).

If you want assistance in troubleshooting a specific issue, then provide relevant details and the exact issue and error messages you are receiving. If you want to post a log report here, then click on the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper to paste the report here.

Here I only find Assistant.Framework in XCode & Developer.
