Healthcheck is a read-only scan of your VirtualDJ library. It doesn’t change anything — it just tells you what’s going on.

When to use it #

Run it before your first repair session, after you’ve imported changes, and every so often as routine maintenance. It’s the natural first thing to do with VDJTools, and it’s completely safe to run at any time — nothing gets written to your library.

What it does #

It reports what needs attention across your database, folders, playlists, and history, so you can see the shape of the problem before deciding where to start. It doesn’t apply any fixes itself — for that, you’d move on to the relevant repair page.

Key arguments #

• /healthcheck
• /verbose
• /include, /exclude

Example commands #

vdjtools /healthcheck
vdjtools /healthcheck /verbose

Why it’s a good habit #

Running it again after a repair confirms the fix actually landed and the library is clear — a much better feeling than just hoping it worked.

Common scenario #

You’ve noticed a few tracks are missing and want to know whether that’s an isolated blip or a sign of a wider problem, before you touch anything.
