Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI audit my Guance Cloud monitors and dashboards?

Yes. Your agent uses the connector to pull a full list of active monitors and workspace dashboards. It then compares these against your requirements to find gaps or misconfigurations.

Audit outcomes.

Where your audit results land.

The AI processes your Guance Cloud data into these specific results.

INVENTORY

Complete resource list

The agent identifies every active monitor and dashboard currently running in your workspace. You get a clear view of your entire observability footprint.

VALIDATION

Rule consistency check

The AI inspects individual monitor settings to ensure thresholds and alert conditions match your intended logic.

GAP ANALYSIS

Missing dashboard detection

By comparing your metrics to your visual setups, the agent flags where you have data but no corresponding dashboard.

HUMAN

Manual rule updates

The AI identifies which specific rules need fixing. You must log in to Guance Cloud to actually change the configuration.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent moves from broad discovery to specific inspection to give you a complete audit.

  1. Gather workspace data

    The agent starts by pulling a complete inventory of all existing monitors and dashboards in your Guance Cloud account.

    list_monitorslist_dashboards

  2. Inspect specific rules

    Once it has the list, the agent pulls the deep configuration details for any monitor you want to audit.

    get_monitor

  3. Identify misconfigurations

    The agent compares the retrieved monitor settings against your specific audit criteria to find errors.

    get_monitor

  4. Report findings

    The agent summarizes which monitors are broken and which dashboards are missing data coverage.

    list_monitorslist_dashboards

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my alert thresholds?

    No. The AI can read and inspect your monitor configurations, but it cannot modify them. You have to make changes in Guance Cloud yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new dashboards for me?

    No. The AI can list your existing dashboards and tell you what's missing, but it lacks the tools to create or edit dashboard layouts.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my Guance Cloud data?

    The AI only sees the data it needs to answer your specific request, such as monitor settings and dashboard lists.

  • 04

    Can I audit specific monitors by name?

    Yes. You can ask the agent to look at a specific monitor, and it will pull that exact configuration for inspection.

  • 05

    Will the AI delete any of my monitors?

    No. The AI has no capability to delete monitors or dashboards.
