1. A computer system for checking a status of a computer platform of a firm, the computer system comprising:
a first on-premises computer platform of the firm;
a first external computer platform of the firm;
a diagnostic computer system that is communication with the first on-premises computer platform and the first external computer platform, wherein the diagnostic computer system comprises:
one or more processing cores that is configured to:
check a status for the first on-premises computer platform; and
check a status for the first external computer platform; and
a web server that is in communication with the one or more processing cores, wherein the web server is for:
serving webpages to an operator;
in a first session:
receiving, from the operator via a webpage, at least one parameter value for a status check for the first on-premises computer platform;
passing the at least one parameter value to the one or more processing cores; and
sending a result from the status check for the first on-premises computer platform by the one or more processing cores to the operator via a webpage; and
in a second session:
receiving, from the operator via a webpage, at least one parameter value for a status check for the first external computer platform;
passing the at least one parameter value to the one or more processing cores; and
sending a result from the status check for the first external computer platform by the one or more processing cores to the operator via a webpage,
wherein:
the status check for the first on-premises computer platform by the one or more processing cores uses a first system account for authenticating with the first on-premises computer platform to collect status data about the first on-premises computer platform; and
the status check for the first external computer platform by the one or more processing cores uses a second system account for authenticating with the first external computer platform to collect status data about the first external computer platform.
