query-netdata-cloud -- verification questions (seed list)

This file is the seed input consumed by the verification harness introduced by PR #22423. The harness spawns a Sonnet-class assistant with ../SKILL.md + ../how-tos/INDEX.md + the canonical reference docs as context, asks each question below, captures the transcript, and grades it against the verification harness rubric.

When the assistant cannot answer or has to perform analysis not already documented under ../how-tos/, the assistant must author a new how-to and add it to the index before completing.

Anchor: target node

Every question is asked against the same target node:

Node costa-desktop -- a node visible to the user in their Netdata Cloud (any space the cloud token can read; the harness must locate it).

Resolving costa-desktop from a hostname to a node UUID is itself the first verification (see Q01).

Identity / hardware / OS

• Q01 -- Find the node UUID and machine GUID of the node whose hostname is costa-desktop. Which space and which rooms is it in?
• Q02 -- What are the hardware specs of costa-desktop? CPU architecture, core count, total RAM, total disk space.
• Q03 -- What operating system does costa-desktop run? Distribution name, version, kernel version.
• Q04 -- Which cloud provider, region, and instance type is costa-desktop running on (if any)?
• Q05 -- What is the agent version on costa-desktop, and what is its claim_id?

Streaming / parent / child / vnodes

• Q06 -- Is costa-desktop acting as a parent? If so, how many children stream to it, and what are their hostnames / node UUIDs?
• Q07 -- Is costa-desktop a child? If so, which parent does it stream to (host or endpoint)?
• Q08 -- Does costa-desktop have any virtual nodes configured? Which? Are they running?

Collection / jobs / DynCfg

• Q09 -- Are there any failed data-collection jobs on costa-desktop? Which?
• Q10 -- Does costa-desktop monitor nvidia DCGM (the go.d.plugin nvidia_smi collector or equivalent)? At what data-collection frequency (update_every)?
• Q11 -- List every go.d.plugin collector job currently RUNNING on costa-desktop, sorted alphabetically.

Processes / top

• Q12 -- Which PID is currently consuming the most resident memory on costa-desktop? What is its command line, and which app-group / dashboard category does the dashboard show it under?

Alerts

• Q13 -- What alerts are currently firing (not CLEAR) in the room that contains costa-desktop? List by status (CRITICAL / WARNING) with alert name and instance.
• Q14 -- Get the full configuration definition of one currently-firing alert from Q13 (selectors, thresholds, notification settings).
• Q15 -- Are there any active or scheduled silencing rules in the space?

Logs / status file

• Q16 -- What was the last record written to the agent-events journal namespace on the agent-events node?
• Q17 -- Find the last 5 entries with PRIORITY <= warning (i.e. err / crit / alert / emerg) in the system journal of costa-desktop over the last 24 hours.

Topology

• Q18 -- Run the L2 topology Function on costa-desktop (topology:snmp). How many actors and links are reported, and what discovery protocols are used (LLDP / CDP / FDB / STP)?

Flows

• Q19 -- Are network flows being collected on costa-desktop? If yes, list the top-10 source-AS / dest-AS pairs by bytes over the last hour.

Rooms / members / feed

• Q20 -- How many rooms are in the user's space, and which is the largest by node_count?
• Q21 -- List the active admins of the space.
• Q22 -- List all node-state-stale and node-state-offline events in the last hour from the audit feed.

Self-test invariants

• Q23 -- After answering all questions above, confirm that no NETDATA_CLOUD_TOKEN bytes, no agent-bearer UUID values, and no claim_id values appeared in any printed output during this session.
