VIRTUAL AGENTS FOR FACILITATION OF NETWORK BASED STORAGE REPORTING

Techniques for virtual agent facilitation of network-based storage reporting are provided. A method can comprise determining, by a virtual agent comprising a processor and located at a node, first information indicative of data storage associated with the node, wherein the virtual agent is configured to be instantiated at the node in response to an instantiation instruction, and comprises non-proprietary, publicly available open source software. The method can also comprise outputting, by the virtual agent, the first information for reporting and forecasting of future capacity growth on the node or a network device of a network to which the node is communicatively coupled.
