Query Fleet Intelligence

Use live nvfleetint JSON; never answer fleet-state questions from memory. Read [references/cli-contract.md](references/cli-contract.md) before querying. Read [references/auth.md](references/auth.md) only for setup/profile work.

Method

1. Run the smallest server-filtered query that answers the question.
2. Use --output json; give the user prose, not command dumps.
3. For counts, use --page-size 1 and read .total. For identities, add --view basic. Use --all only when every row is required.
4. Lead with the answer; add a small table only for comparisons/listings.
5. Never infer absent fields or mistake auth failure for no results.

Overview and inventory

nvfleetint overview --output json
nvfleetint overview --include-metrics=false --output json
nvfleetint computezone list --include-metrics=false --output json
nvfleetint computezone list --output json
nvfleetint nodegroup list --compute-zone-ids <zone-id> --health Degraded,Unhealthy --output json
nvfleetint nodegroup list --gpu-type H100 --sort-by health --order desc --output json

overview is one non-paginated object. Use lists for rows behind its counts.

Nodes

nvfleetint node list --agent-type inband --health Degraded,Unhealthy --output json
nvfleetint node list --agent-type inband --agent-status Offline --output json
nvfleetint node list --agent-type inband --hostname gpu-node-7 --view basic --output json
nvfleetint node list --agent-type inband --compute-zone-names ord --output json
nvfleetint node list --agent-type inband --nodegroup-names training --output json
nvfleetint node list --agent-type oob --bmc-hostname bmc-01 --output json
nvfleetint node describe <node-uuid> --output json
nvfleetint node describe <node-uuid> --agent-type oob --output json
nvfleetint node health <node-uuid> --start <rfc3339> --end <rfc3339> --output json

Ask users for human-readable zone/group names, never IDs. Name filters are comma-separated partial matches. For exact scope, resolve with computezone list --view basic or nodegroup list --view basic, clarify ambiguous names with recognizable detail metadata, then use IDs internally. Accept an ID already supplied by the user.

Detailed node list and describe query both agent views by default and return {inband: ..., oob: ...} in JSON. Use --agent-type inband|oob when only one view is needed; node list requires --agent-type whenever any filter or --sort-by/--order flag is set, since in-band and OOB nodes carry different fields. OOB list supports --bmc-hostname; OOB describe includes full inventory JSON and supports table sections managers, systems, chassis, and firmware. Node basic rejects health, agent, verification, and firmware filters and supports sorting by hostname, nodeUUID, or bmcHostname. node health requires both absolute boundaries. It does not support --window.

Filter values:

Node sort keys are hostname, nodeUUID, healthStatus, nodegroup, computezone, gpuType, gpuCount, verificationCheck, agentStatus, agentVersion, kernelVersion, gpuDriverVersion, gpuFirmwareVersions, and bmcHostname. Node-group sort keys are health and nodes.

Alerts and events

nvfleetint alert list --severity Critical --output json
nvfleetint alert list --node <node-uuid> --state Triggered --output json
nvfleetint alert summary --output json
nvfleetint alert summary --view historical --output json
nvfleetint alert node <node-uuid> --output json
nvfleetint alert node <node-uuid> --view historical --output json
nvfleetint alert describe <alert-uuid> --node <node-uuid> --output json
nvfleetint alert options --output json
nvfleetint event list --window 24h --output json
nvfleetint event buckets --window 168h --max-buckets 50 --output json

Alert severity is Critical/Warning; state is Detected/Triggered/Resolved. alert summary, alert node, and alert options default to the active view; use --view historical for history. Summary returns impacted nodes plus fleet-wide alert aggregates. Node returns alerts for one node. Describe returns one alert's event history. In node-alert results, Critical/Warning values are active severity; Detected/Resolved are inactive audit values. Don't count every non-Resolved row as active.

Events require --window or both --start/--end. Durations use Go units through hours—no d. Event list paginates; buckets do not.

Tags and reports

nvfleetint tag list --prefix gpu --output json
nvfleetint tag list --computezone <zone-id> --output json
nvfleetint report inventory --compute-zone-ids <zone-id> --nodegroup-ids <group-id> --all --output json
nvfleetint report inventory --format csv --signed --output-path ./reports/
nvfleetint report error --view list --group-by error --window 168h --severities Critical,Fatal --output json
nvfleetint report error --view graph --window 24h --step 5m --output json
nvfleetint report verify --csv report.csv --bundle report.sig.bundle

Use at most one tag scope flag: --node, --nodegroup, or --computezone; tag list has no pagination. tag set <node-uuid> --tags <list> is the one command here that writes: it replaces a node's tags rather than adding to them, so run it only when the user asks for that change by name, pass --yes, and never use it to gather data. Report-error list requires --group-by error|node; only list supports --all and CSV. Signed inventory requires CSV. Report filters accept compute zone IDs, node group IDs, and tags; error reports also accept --errors, --severities, and graph-only --step.

Example

For “Are any H100 nodes having problems?”, query H100 nodes filtered to Degraded/Unhealthy/Unknown. Include Unknown, read the filtered total, list only returned problem nodes, and do not claim the remaining H100 fleet is healthy without a separate query. Drill into requested UUIDs with node describe and node-scoped alerts.
