Ask M8B Anything About Your Infrastructure

Ask M8B Anything About Your Infrastructure

Use natural language to:

  • Check overall infrastructure health (host reachability, protocol availability, basic system status, and more)
  • Investigate anomalies or failed services
  • Get guidance for troubleshooting issues
  • Validate that corrective actions have restored normal operation
Let M8B Handle the Heavy Lifting

Let M8B Handle the Heavy Lifting

Behind the scene, M8B:

  • Collects relevant metrics live across hardware, operating systems, storage systems, databases, and more
  • Analyzes metrics and correlates signals to identify patterns and root causes
  • Performs infrastructure checks in real time to validate hypotheses

Delegate Repetitive Tasks to a Virtual Assistant

From long investigations to instant answers and faster resolution.

Real-World Example

Users noticed that responses from their LLM were unusually slow and raised concerns in Slack about the health of the NVIDIA server.

The AI assistant, powered by MetricsHub and OpenAI, immediately analyzed real-time infrastructure metrics, identified the root cause, and recommended corrective actions.

Once the fix was applied, the assistant confirmed that the system had returned to normal operation.

FAQ

FAQ
What makes M8B different from a standard AI chatbot?
Unlike generic AI chatbots, M8B operates on real-time infrastructure metrics collected by MetricsHub. This allows M8B to provide context-aware analysis and troubleshooting guidance grounded in actual operational data rather than generic responses.
Does MetricsHub include a Large Language Model (LLM)?
No. MetricsHub does not include its own LLM. You can either connect your preferred LLM to MetricsHub's MCP server or use M8B, the built-in virtual assistant that works with OpenAI.
Can I use M8B with Claude or other LLMs?
No. M8B currently supports OpenAI only.
I have a ChatGPT subscription. Can I use it with M8B?
No. M8B requires an OpenAI API key. A ChatGPT subscription cannot be used for this purpose.
Can M8B connect to other sources of information?
Not at the moment. Currently, M8B works only with infrastructure metrics collected by MetricsHub. Support for additional data sources is under development.
Can M8B query multiple agents at the same time?
Not currently. M8B cannot interrogate multiple agents simultaneously. This capability is being considered for future releases.
M8B uses OpenAI. Is my data secure?
Yes. MetricsHub and M8B do not store your prompt or infrastructure data. Requests are sent directly to your OpenAI subscription using your API key.
Can M8B take actions on my systems?
No. M8B operates in read-only mode. It can run only commands that are authorized through MetricsHub connectors.
