get_collector
Get detailed health and status information for a specific LogicMonitor collector by its ID, such as alive/dead status, number of monitored hosts, free disk space, and build version.
Instructions
Get detailed information about a specific collector by its ID in LogicMonitor (LM) monitoring.
Returns: Complete collector details: description (name), hostname, platform, status, build version, number of resource/device monitored, free disk space, CPU/memory usage, last heartbeat, configuration.
When to use:
Check collector health before assigning resources/devices
Verify collector capacity
Troubleshoot connectivity issues
Check version for updates
Monitor collector performance
Health indicators to check:
status: "alive" (healthy) vs "dead" (offline/problem)
numberOfHosts: How many resource/device this collector monitors (capacity planning)
freeDiskSpace: Disk space available (needs GB for data buffering)
build: Version number (compare with "list_collector_versions" for updates)
lastHeartbeatTime: Recent = healthy, old = potential issue
Workflow: Use "list_collectors" to find collectorId, then use this tool for detailed health check.
Related tools: "list_collectors" (find collector), "list_collector_versions" (check updates), "list_resources" (see assigned resources/devices).
