Frequently Asked Questions about dt-obs-hosts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor hosts and detect high CPU usage in production?

Monitor hosts by querying timeseries and smartscape data to identify high CPU usage in production environments. This enables proactive incident response and capacity planning by tracking host resource utilization across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.

Can I inventory Linux hosts and track process resource consumption across multi-cloud environments?

Yes, you can inventory Linux hosts and track process resource consumption across multi-cloud environments. The skill performs inventory discovery and metrics extraction to map host and process infrastructure health for operations and capacity planning.

How do I map containers to Kubernetes workloads for upgrade planning?

Map containers to Kubernetes workloads by analyzing container and Kubernetes infrastructure data. This allows you to identify cluster versions and correlate infrastructure health across layers for effective upgrade planning.

Does this skill support DQL-based workflows for infrastructure observability?

Yes, infrastructure observability is supported through DQL-based workflows. The skill performs deterministic data collection via timeseries and smartscape queries to support cross-layer correlation and validate metadata completeness.

What's the best way to attribute infrastructure costs by cost center and product?

Attribute infrastructure costs by extracting host metadata and mapping cost centers to products. This validates data quality and metadata completeness, enabling accurate cost attribution across discovered cloud and on-prem infrastructure.

How do I discover services running on hosts via listening ports?

Discover services via listening ports by querying the host infrastructure inventory. This identifies active processes and maps container deployments, providing comprehensive visibility into your technology stack and service dependencies.
