nvidiagpubeat

Welcome to nvidiagpubeat. nvidiagpubeat is an elastic beat that uses NVIDIA System Management Interface (nvidia-smi - https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-system-management-interface) to monitor NVIDIA GPU devices and can ingest metrics into Elastic search cluster. nvidia-smi is a command line utility, based on top of the NVIDIA Management Library (NVML), intended to aid in the management and monitoring of NVIDIA GPU devices.

nvidiagpubeat is built using Beats framework described at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/new-beat.html.

nvidiagpubeat elastic beat with help of nvidia-smi allows administrators to query GPU device state. It is targeted at the TeslaTM, GRIDTM, QuadroTM and Titan X product, though limited support is also available on other NVIDIA GPUs.

NVIDIA-smi ships with NVIDIA GPU display drivers on Linux, and with 64bit Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

nvidiagpubeat provides ability (look at nvidiagpubeat.yml) to configure metrics that needs to be monitored and by default it queries utilization.gpu,utilization.memory,memory.total,memory.free,memory.used,temperature.gpu,pstate and can ingest them into elastic search cluster for possibly visualization using Kibana.

Getting Started with nvidiagpubeat

Build on macOS

Prerequisites

sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python
sudo pip install virtualenv

brew install glide

Build on RedHat EL7

Prerequisites

yum install python-virtualenv
yum install golang

Initialize Project

Once the prerequisites have been installed, rest of the steps are common across OSes as nvidiagpubeat is written in Golang.

#Start with an empty directory
mkdir beats_dev

#Build with elastic beats branch=6.5 (Master branch might not always upto-date).
export WORKSPACE=`pwd`/beats_dev
export GOPATH=$WORKSPACE
git clone https://github.com/elastic/beats ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/elastic/beats --branch 6.5

#Clone nvidiagpubeat
mkdir $WORKSPACE/src/github.com/ebay
cd $WORKSPACE/src/github.com/ebay
git clone [email protected]:eBay/nvidiagpubeat.git

#Build
cd $WORKSPACE/src/github.com/ebay/nvidiagpubeat/
make setup
make

nvidiagpubeat and beats compatibility

To keep nvidiagpubeat compatible with upcoming versions of beats, nvidiagpubeat will be branched out beacause at times beats does make breaking changes across major releases. For instance between beats 6.x and beats 7.x, the cmd.GenRootCmd is broken.

beats version nvidiagpubeat branch
6.x master
7.x withBeats7.3

For instance to use 7.3 version of beats and compatible nvidiagpubeat, perform following actions before compilation.

#Build with elastic beats branch=6.5 (Master branch might not always upto-date).
export WORKSPACE=`pwd`/beats_dev
export GOPATH=$WORKSPACE
git clone https://github.com/elastic/beats ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/elastic/beats --branch 7.3

#Clone nvidiagpubeat
mkdir $WORKSPACE/src/github.com/ebay
cd $WORKSPACE/src/github.com/ebay
git clone [email protected]:eBay/nvidiagpubeat.git --branch withBeats7.3

Above instructions will generate a binary in the same directory with the name nvidiagpubeat.

Run in production environment

To run nvidiagpubeat with pre-installed nvidia-smi that is available in PATH, switch to "test" environment in nvidiagpubeat.yml and use

env: "production"
export PATH=$PATH:.
./nvidiagpubeat -c nvidiagpubeat.yml -e -d "*" -E seccomp.enabled=false

seccomp.enabled setting : nvidiagpubeat uses libbeat framework. For security purposes the libbeat framework by default drops the ability to fork/exec. As nvidiagpubeat executes nvidia-smi, security setting must be disabled by setting through command line.

Run in test environment (macOS)

To run nvidiagpubeat with pre-packaged localnvidiasmi switch to "test" environment in nvidiagpubeat.yml and use

env: "test"
export PATH=$PATH:.
./nvidiagpubeat -c nvidiagpubeat.yml -e -d "*" -E seccomp.enabled=false

localnvidiasmi executable built for macOS and is a mock GPU event generator that supports events for --query-compute-apps and --query-gpu. The executable is generated using nvidiasmilocal/localnvidiasmi.go file.

Sample event

The file nvidiagpubeat.yml defines the beat nvidiagpubeat with multiple options for query. For example query: "--query-gpu= will provide information about GPU and query: "--query-compute-apps= will list currently active compute processes.

The --query-gpu will generate below event by nvidiagpubeat.
