Support the channel via YouTube THANKS or buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foil Dive into the future of homelab automation with this hands-on tutorial! 🚀 Watch as I build a powerful AI agent in n8n that chats with your tools like a pro—querying Prometheus metrics, auto-creating Grafana dashboards, SSH-ing into Linux servers, and even piping data to Postgres. No more manual scripting: just natural language commands to supercharge your DevOps workflow! Whether you're an SRE tired of repetitive tasks or a homelab enthusiast wanting AI smarts, this 30-min guide shows real demos, safety tips, and tool integrations. Perfect for intermediate users familiar with monitoring and databases. Key Highlights: Auto-generate stunning Grafana dashboards from Prometheus data in seconds. Iterative SSH commands to hunt down files or run safe ops (with approvals!). Query Postgres like a DB wizard—e.g., fetch YouTube video insights. Mind-blowing tool chaining: Pull Prometheus time-series and store in Postgres tables. Memorable Quote: "It's my database expert now, Prometheus expert, Linux expert, and they're all talking to each other." (18:18) – See the magic unfold!
