Perplexity

Monitor system health in Claude Desktop

Stop switching tabs to check your stack. You can run `get_apm_summary` or `list_alerts` to see exactly what is breaking right now. Your agent parses the output and tells you if your latency is spiking or if a service is down. It turns raw monitoring data into plain English answers.

Run custom queries for your infrastructure

Execute specific NRQL queries using `run_nrql` to dig into your logs. You get the actual database results back inside your Claude Desktop conversation. This lets you verify if a deployment caused an error or if a specific metric matches your expectations. It is just like having the dashboard inside the chat.

Manage your entity list and dashboards

Use `list_entities` and `get_dashboard` to pull configuration details for any service you track. You get a clear view of your architecture without manual lookups. Your AI client uses this info to map out dependencies. It makes debugging much faster when you have the context right in front of you.
