UGREEN NAS -- Docker Compose -- Beszel Agent Intel GPU Monitoring Fix

[ethanmoss]

Hey All,

Just thought I'd share how I set up Intel GPU Monitoring on my UGREEN NAS, as I ran into some permissions issues at first.

The Issue:

Initially I followed the Intel GPU guide article here. I found that I was consistently receiving some GPU monitoring errors in the container logs:

Error collecting Intel GPU data; see https://beszel.dev/guide/gpu err="no valid GPU data found"

I found that intel_gpu_top wasn't getting the proper permissions, even after following the guide linked above:

/ # intel_gpu_top
Failed to initialize PMU! (Permission denied)

The Fix:

Set perf_event_paranoid=2 on the host system.

sudo sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2

The default system setting is 3 which appears to be too restrictive.

I'm sure it'll revert back after an OS update, but this was helpful in getting GPU monitoring to work.
