## Synopsis
```shell copy
codeql database add-diagnostic --source-id=<id> --source-name=<name> <options>... -- <database>
```
## Description
\[Experimental] Add a piece of diagnostic information to a database.
Available since `v2.12.6`.
## Options
### Primary Options
#### `<database>`
\[Mandatory] Path to the CodeQL database to bundle.
#### `--markdown-message=<markdownMessage>`
Message for the diagnostic, in GitHub-flavored Markdown format.
#### `--plaintext-message=<plaintextMessage>`
Message for the diagnostic, in plain text. This option should only be
used when populating a Markdown message with --markdown-message is not
practical.
#### `--severity=<severity>`
Severity of the diagnostic. Can be "error", "warning", or "note".
#### `--help-link=<helpLinks>`
Help links relevant to the diagnostic.
#### `--attributes-json=<attributesJson>`
Structured metadata relevant to the diagnostic.
### Options that indicate where the diagnostic message can be displayed
#### `--ready-for-status-page`
Indicate that the diagnostic is suitable for display on the status page.
#### `--ready-for-cli-summary-table`
Indicate that the diagnostic is suitable for display in the diagnostics
summary table printed by commands like `database analyze`.
### Options describing the source of the diagnostic
#### `--source-id=<id>`
\[Mandatory] An identifier for the source of this diagnostic.
#### `--source-name=<name>`
\[Mandatory] A human-readable description of the source of this
diagnostic.
#### `--extractor-name=<extractorName>`
The name of the CodeQL extractor, if this diagnostic was produced by a
CodeQL extractor.
### Options describing the diagnostic's location
#### `--file-path=<file>`
The path of the file to which the diagnostic applies, relative to the
source root.
#### `--start-line=<startLine>`
The 1-based line number (inclusive) where the diagnostic's location
starts.
#### `--start-column=<startColumn>`
The 1-based column number (inclusive) where the diagnostic's location
starts.
#### `--end-line=<endLine>`
The 1-based line number (inclusive) where the diagnostic's location
ends.
#### `--end-column=<endColumn>`
The 1-based column number (inclusive) where the diagnostic's location
ends.
### Common options
#### `-h, --help`
Show this help text.
#### `-J=<opt>`
\[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
#### `-v, --verbose`
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
#### `-q, --quiet`
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
#### `--verbosity=<level>`
\[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides `-v`
and `-q`.
#### `--logdir=<dir>`
\[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given
directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of
the running subcommand.
(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead
give `--log-to-stderr` and redirect stderr as desired.)
#### `--common-caches=<dir>`
\[Advanced] Controls the location of cached data on disk that will
persist between several runs of the CLI, such as downloaded QL packs and
compiled query plans. If not set explicitly, this defaults to a
directory named `.codeql` in the user's home directory; it will be
created if it doesn't already exist.
Available since `v2.15.2`.
