### With NVIDIA GPUs monitoring
Monitoring NVIDIA GPUs requires:
- Using official [NVIDIA driver](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx).
- Installing [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html).
- Allowing the Netdata container to access GPU resources.

### With host-editable configuration
Use a [bind mount](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/) for `/etc/netdata` rather than a volume.

Monitors performance metrics (memory usage, fan speed, pcie bandwidth utilization, temperature, etc.) using `nvidia-smi` cli tool.
## Requirements and Notes
## Requirements
- You must have the `nvidia-smi` tool installed and your NVIDIA GPU(s) must support the tool. Mostly the newer high end models used for AI / ML and Crypto or Pro range, read more about [nvidia_smi](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-system-management-interface).
- You must enable this plugin, as its disabled by default due to minor performance issues:
- The `nvidia-smi` tool installed and your NVIDIA GPU(s) must support the tool. Mostly the newer high end models used for AI / ML and Crypto or Pro range, read more about [nvidia_smi](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-system-management-interface).
- Enable this plugin, as it's disabled by default due to minor performance issues:
```bash
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d.conf
```
Remove the '#' before nvidia_smi so it reads: `nvidia_smi: yes`.
- On some systems when the GPU is idle the `nvidia-smi` tool unloads and there is added latency again when it is next queried. If you are running GPUs under constant workload this isn't likely to be an issue.
- Currently the `nvidia-smi` tool is being queried via cli. Updating the plugin to use the nvidia c/c++ API directly should resolve this issue. See discussion here: <https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/4357>
- Contributions are welcome.
- Make sure `netdata` user can execute `/usr/bin/nvidia-smi` or wherever your binary is.
- If `nvidia-smi` process [is not killed after netdata restart](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/7143) you need to off `loop_mode`.
- `poll_seconds` is how often in seconds the tool is polled for as an integer.
If using Docker, see [Netdata Docker container with NVIDIA GPUs monitoring](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/packaging/docker#with-nvidia-gpus-monitoring).

## Docker
GPU monitoring in a docker container is possible with [nvidia-container-toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html) installed on the host system, and `gcompat` added to the `NETDATA_EXTRA_APK_PACKAGES` environment variable.
Sample `docker-compose.yml`
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
netdata:
image: netdata/netdata
container_name: netdata
hostname: example.com # set to fqdn of host
ports:
- 19999:19999
restart: unless-stopped
cap_add:
- SYS_PTRACE
security_opt:
- apparmor:unconfined
environment:
- NETDATA_EXTRA_APK_PACKAGES=gcompat
volumes:
- netdataconfig:/etc/netdata
- netdatalib:/var/lib/netdata
- netdatacache:/var/cache/netdata
- /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro
- /etc/group:/host/etc/group:ro
- /proc:/host/proc:ro
- /sys:/host/sys:ro
- /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro
deploy:
resources:
reservations:
devices:
- driver: nvidia
count: all
capabilities: [gpu]

Sample `docker run`
```yaml
docker run -d --name=netdata \

-e NETDATA_EXTRA_APK_PACKAGES=gcompat \
-v netdataconfig:/etc/netdata \

--gpus all \

### Docker Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot `nvidia-smi` in a docker container, first confirm that `nvidia-smi` is working on the host system. If that is working correctly, run `docker exec -it netdata nvidia-smi` to confirm it's working within the docker container. If `nvidia-smi` is fuctioning both inside and outside of the container, confirm that `nvidia-smi: yes` is uncommented in `python.d.conf`.
```bash
docker exec -it netdata bash
cd /etc/netdata
./edit-config python.d.conf
```
