GPU Monitoring

Beszel can monitor GPU usage, temperature, and power draw.

Binary agent only

The Docker agent does not support GPU monitoring. You must use the binary agent.

AMD GPUs

Beszel uses rocm-smi to monitor AMD GPUs. This must be installed on the system.

Make sure rocm-smi is accessible

Installing rocm-smi-lib on Arch and Debian places the rocm-smi binary in /opt/rocm. If this isn't in the PATH of the user running beszel-agent, symlink to /usr/local/bin:

sudo ln -s /opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi /usr/local/bin/rocm-smi

Nvidia GPUs

Beszel uses nvidia-smi to monitor Nvidia GPUs. This must be installed on the system.

You may need to allow access to your GPUs in the service configuration. See discussion #563 for more information.

[Service]
DeviceAllow=/dev/nvidiactl rw
DeviceAllow=/dev/nvidia0 rw
# If you have multiple GPUs, make sure to allow all of them
DeviceAllow=/dev/nvidia1 rw
DeviceAllow=/dev/nvidia2 rw

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart beszel-agent

Nvidia Jetson

Jetson devices are supported as of version 0.11.0.

You must have tegrastats installed because nvidia-smi is not compatible with Jetson.

Intel GPUs

Intel GPUs are not currently supported as there doesn't seem to be a straightforward utility like nvidia-smi to get utilization and memory usage.

We may add support for tracking usage of video and 3D rendering engines in the future with intel-gpu-top.

Please see issue #262 for more information.
