# Query Netdata Agents directly

Ask your Netdata agents for metrics, logs and alerts directly

## What this does

Sometimes you have a question about a single machine: what its logs say, how its numbers look, or what alerts it has raised. This sends your question straight to the Netdata Agent running on that machine, so the answer comes from the machine itself. It works with both parent and child agents. You can also call the agent's own API and Functions yourself.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Pull metrics, logs or alerts straight from an agent
- Call an agent's REST API or Function
- Get a bearer token from my Netdata Cloud token

## About Query Netdata Agents directly

Queries Netdata Agents, both parents and children, directly through their HTTP API.

It includes a bearer-token helper that mints, caches and transparently refreshes a per-agent bearer from a long-lived Netdata Cloud token, and it auto-detects agents that are bearer-protected.

Use it when you want to call an agent's REST API or Function directly, query an agent's logs, metrics or alerts directly, mint a bearer token from a cloud token, or work around bearer protection.
