Infra Lens FAQs

Question 1

What is Infra Lens and how does it help diagnose Linux incidents?

Accepted Answer

Infra Lens is a powerful tool designed to diagnose Linux infrastructure incidents. It connects over SSH, collects comprehensive system data, performs baseline-aware anomaly detection, and provides plain-English explanations with actionable recommendations for issues like high CPU, memory, or disk usage.

Question 2

What kind of recommendations does Infra Lens provide for detected issues?

Accepted Answer

Beyond just identifying anomalies, Infra Lens generates specific, plain-English recommendations. For example, if high CPU usage is detected, it might identify the top consuming process and suggest investigating its logs or scaling options.

Question 3

How does Infra Lens detect anomalies and what metrics does it monitor?

Accepted Answer

Infra Lens records local metric history in SQLite to establish baselines. It then uses z-score analysis to detect anomalies on key metrics like CPU, memory, disk, network, process, and OS data. This allows it to identify significant deviations from normal operating conditions.

Question 4

Is Infra Lens non-invasive, and does it require agents on Linux hosts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Infra Lens is designed to be non-invasive. It collects all necessary data purely over SSH without requiring any agents to be installed or making any changes to your target Linux hosts, ensuring minimal impact and easy deployment.

Question 5

Can Infra Lens integrate with AI clients or other development environments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Infra Lens supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over stdio and Streamable HTTP, enabling seamless integration with AI clients like Claude, Cursor, VS Code extensions, and other development tools for interactive, AI-driven incident analysis.
