host-onboard-diagnose

host-onboard-diagnose is a System & environment troubleshooting skill for AI agents, published by ccfos in the nightingale repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates host-onboard-diagnose F (51/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Diagnose onboarding failures where "categraf is installed/running but the host does not show up in the Nightingale host list, or shows unknown / has no metrics". Triggers when the user asks "why doesn't my newly installed host appear", "all the OS values in the host list are unknown", "I installed 3 collectors via Helm but only see 1", "the agent won't register", or "categraf is installed but the host doesn't show". **Mutually exclusive** with host-health-diagnose: that one handles "was onboarded before, now lost contact", while this skill handles "never got onboarded at all". Core stance: **a missing host is not a single cause, but rather one segment of the onboarding pipeline being broken**. Looking only at heartbeat.enable and telling the user to change categraf is a common pitfall (many users change it and still can't see the host, because the problem is in omit_hostname / ident shell / TLS / token / edge redis / multi-cluster routing).
