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"

Windows

On Windows, nvidia-smi is generally located at C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe

Metrics

  • measurement: nvidia_smi
    • tags
      • name (type of GPU e.g. GeForce GTX 1070 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, MiB)
      • memory_used (integer, MiB)
      • memory_total (integer, MiB)
      • power_draw (float, W)
      • 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"

Example Output
