NVIDIA GPU Prometheus Exporter

This is a Prometheus Exporter for exporting NVIDIA GPU metrics. It uses the NVIDIA Go NVML bindings for NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) which is a C-based API that can be used for monitoring NVIDIA GPU devices. Unlike some other similar exporters, it does not call the nvidia-smi binary.

This Exporter is a fork of https://github.com/mindprince/nvidia_gpu_prometheus_exporter with the following main changes:

• added parsing of /run/gpustat/XX for jobid and uid of the user running on the GPU. Slurm scripts that take advantage of this are available on jobstats website.
• switched from Go bindings to NVIDIA Go NVML bindings
• added support for MIG instance autodetection and stats

Building

E.g.

go build

Running

The exporter requires the following:

• access to NVML library (libnvidia-ml.so.1).
• access to the GPU devices.

To make sure that the exporter can access the NVML libraries, either add them to the search path for shared libraries. Or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to their location.

By default the metrics are exposed on port 9445. This can be updated using the -web.listen-address flag.
