System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Diagnosing unexpected storage hardware issues by distinguishing gradual degradation, sudden failures, interface/transport problems, and thermal damage using SMART evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP-based smartctl triage: Queries Netdata via MCP to pull the smartctl (S.M.A.R.T. Disk Health) health signals for a specific host and device.
  • Operator playbook diagnostic tree: Routes a coding agent through failure archetypes and the matching remediation path used by the Netdata operator playbook.
  • Verification-first workflow: Re-runs targeted MCP verification queries to confirm signals return to expected bands before considering the issue resolved.

Quick Start

Use the MCP-backed triage path for the incident by telling the AI: Diagnose my smartctl (S.M.A.R.T. Disk Health) alerts for the host <host> and recommend remediation using Netdata MCP and the operator playbook.
