" summary

A concrete tool named inframer collects and correlates node data from Chef, Nagios, VMware, AWS and Device42, built in two hackathons (48 hours) using Python Flask and Redis; collectors dump JSON into a store, a REST API exposes unified node view and a demo shows dashboard, CLI and API working. Analyzers run set operations to find surprising counts like running but unmonitored or orphan VMs and the system is pluggable for alternate stores.
