  Since commissioning the high-brilliance, 3rd-generation light source, PETRA-3 in 2009 the accelerator operation has become routine. To guard the machine against damage a Machine Protection System (MPS) was built [*]. Alarms and beam information are collected by the MPS and can be used to analyse beam losses and dumps. The MPS triggers a visual diagnostic software, which is used to analyse the hardware dump cause. The diagnostic software is based on a Domain Specific Language (DSL) architecture. The MPS diagnostic application is designed with a server-client architecture and written in Java. The communication protocol is based on TINE. We characterise the data flow of the alarms and the DSL specification and describe the composition from the delivered structure to a single, human understandable message.
