### Overview

Get the diagnostics produced by an experiment's latest analysis run. Each diagnostic includes its category, and the response includes an overall diagnostic or pipeline lifecycle status. This endpoint requires the `product_analytics_experiments_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `product_analytics_experiments_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#experiments) to access this endpoint.
