Short answer

How can I use my AI to look at HyperDX dashboards?

Your AI uses the HyperDX MCP to pull dashboard lists and specific configuration details. This lets you ask questions about your metrics and trends without leaving your chat interface. You'll see how the data flows from your dashboards to your agent below.

Dashboard outcomes.

Where your data goes.

The AI translates dashboard configurations into actionable insights.

LISTING

Dashboard inventory

The AI identifies every dashboard available in your HyperDX instance. You get a clear view of what metrics are currently being tracked.

DETAILS

Configuration deep dives

Your agent pulls the specific settings and layout logic from a single dashboard. This provides the context needed to explain specific trends.

ANALYSIS

Trend interpretation

The AI uses the retrieved dashboard data to explain spikes or drops in your metrics. It turns raw configuration into a readable summary.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI cannot change your dashboard layouts or delete metrics. You still handle all the actual configuration changes in the HyperDX UI.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from broad discovery to specific data retrieval to answer your questions.

  1. Discover dashboards

    The agent scans your HyperDX environment to find all available dashboard objects.

    list_dashboards

  2. Fetch configuration

    Once you pick a dashboard, the agent pulls the exact technical details and settings for that specific view.

    get_dashboard

  3. Interpret metrics

    The agent reads the dashboard structure to understand how your system metrics are being visualized.

    get_dashboard

  4. Report findings

    The agent presents the dashboard information in plain text so you can act on it.

    get_dashboard
