Last update: 2026-06-11 16:49:11
Description
This agent plugin monitors NVIDIA GPU statistics by shelling out to nvidia-smi. It emits Pandora FMS <module> XML blocks to stdout, which the local EndPoint ingests via the module_plugin directive.
Additional information
Type: agent plugin (agent-side, single-binary)
It reports 18 metrics per GPU (Utilization, Temperature, Memory, Power, Fan, Clock, Throttling, ECC errors, Performance State, Name) plus 3 host-wide globals (GPU count, driver version, CUDA version). Module count is 18N + 3 (17N + 3 with --include-fan=false), where N is the number of GPUs.
Package contents
The plugin is distributed as a ZIP archive containing pre-compiled binaries for three platforms:
| Platform | Binary |
|---|---|
| Linux amd64 | pandora-nvidia-gpu-linux-amd64 |
| Linux arm64 | pandora-nvidia-gpu-linux-arm64 |
| Windows amd64 | pandora-nvidia-gpu-windows-amd64.exe |
No additional runtime or dependencies are required — each binary is statically compiled and self-contained. Extract the ZIP on the target host and copy the appropriate binary to the Pandora agent plugins directory.
