Short answer

How can I audit my Netdata Cloud inventory using AI?

Your AI uses the Netdata Connector to crawl your hierarchy, pulling lists of spaces, rooms, and nodes. You get a complete map of your fleet without clicking through the dashboard. This breakdown shows how your agent navigates your setup.

Inventory outcomes.

Where your data lands.

What you get after the AI scans your Netdata Cloud account.

HIERARCHY

Full fleet map

The AI identifies every space and room in your account. You get a structured view of how your resources are organized.

NODES

Node inventory

Your agent lists every node within specific rooms or spaces. This makes it easy to spot missing or unexpected hardware.

AUDIT

Discrepancy checks

Compare your actual node count against your expected fleet size. Your AI flags gaps in your Netdata hierarchy.

HUMAN

Manual cleanup

The AI identifies the nodes, but you still handle the actual removal or reconfiguration of any devices in the dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI follows your Netdata hierarchy from the top down to build a complete picture.

  1. Map the top level

    The AI starts by identifying all the high-level spaces you have configured.

    list_spaces

  2. Locate rooms

    Once it knows the spaces, the agent finds every room nested within them.

    list_rooms

  3. Identify nodes in rooms

    The AI drills down into specific rooms to see which nodes are active there.

    list_room_nodes

  4. Verify space-wide nodes

    It can also pull a complete list of all nodes belonging to a single space at once.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete nodes for me?

    No. The AI can only read and list your inventory. You must use the Netdata dashboard to delete or change anything.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my room names?

    No. This Connector is read-only. It can see your hierarchy, but it cannot modify your Netdata configuration.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my actual metric data?

    No. This specific task only looks at the hierarchy, spaces, rooms, and node lists. It does not pull performance metrics.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which nodes are in which room?

    It uses the list_room_nodes tool to fetch the specific node list for the room you ask about.

  • 05

    Can I ask for a summary of all my nodes?

    Yes. You can ask for a list of all nodes across all spaces, and the AI will aggregate that information for you.
