nvidia-smi Input Plugin

This plugin uses a query on the nvidia-smi binary to pull GPU stats including memory and GPU usage, temp and other.

Configuration

# Pulls statistics from nvidia GPUs attached to the host
[[inputs.nvidia_smi]]
## Optional: path to nvidia-smi binary, defaults to $PATH via exec.LookPath
# bin_path = /usr/bin/nvidia-smi

## Optional: timeout for GPU polling
# timeout = 5s

Metrics

• measurement: nvidia_smi
  • tags
    • name (type of GPU e.g. GeForce GTX 170 Ti)
    • compute_mode (The compute mode of the GPU e.g. Default)
    • index (The port index where the GPU is connected to the motherboard e.g. 1)
    • pstate (Overclocking state for the GPU e.g. P0)
    • uuid (A unique identifier for the GPU e.g. GPU-f9ba66fc-a7f5-94c5-da19-019ef2f9c665)
  • fields
    • fan_speed (integer, percentage)
    • memory_free (integer, KB)
    • memory_used (integer, KB)
    • memory_total (integer, KB)
    • temperature_gpu (integer, degrees C)
    • utilization_gpu (integer, percentage)
    • utilization_memory (integer, percentage)

Sample Query

The below query could be used to alert on the average temperature of the your GPUs over the last minute

SELECT mean("temperature_gpu") FROM "nvidia_smi" WHERE time > now() - 5m GROUP BY time(1m), "index", "name", "host"
