Nvidia GPU exporter for prometheus, using nvidia-smi binary to gather metrics.

Introduction

There are many Nvidia GPU exporters out there however they have problems such as not being maintained, not providing pre-built binaries, having a dependency to Linux and/or Docker, targeting enterprise setups (DCGM) and so on.

This is a simple exporter that uses nvidia-smi(.exe) binary to collect, parse and export metrics. This makes it possible to run it on Windows and get GPU metrics while gaming - no Docker or Linux required.

This project is based on a0s/nvidia-smi-exporter. However, this one is written in Go to produce a single, static binary.

If you are a gamer who's into monitoring, you are in for a treat.

Highlights

  • Will work on any system that has nvidia-smi(.exe)? binary - Windows, Linux, MacOS... No C bindings required
  • Doesn't even need to run the monitored machine: can be configured to execute nvidia-smi command remotely
  • No need for a Docker or Kubernetes environment
  • Auto-discovery of the metric fields nvidia-smi can expose (future-compatible)
  • Comes with its own Grafana dashboard

Visualization

You can use the official Grafana dashboard to see your GPU metrics in a nicely visualized way.
