In February 2022, Amazon Net Providers added support for NVIDIA GPU metrics in Amazon CloudWatch, making it potential to push metrics from the Amazon CloudWatch Agent to Amazon CloudWatch and monitor your code for optimum GPU utilization. Since then, this characteristic has been built-in into a lot of our managed Amazon Machine Photographs (AMIs), such because the Deep Learning AMI and the AWS ParallelCluster AMI. To acquire instance-level metrics of GPU utilization, you should utilize Packer or the Amazon ImageBuilder to bootstrap your personal customized AMI and use it in varied managed service choices like AWS Batch, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Nonetheless, for a lot of container-based service choices and workloads, it’s preferrred to seize utilization metrics on the container, pod, or namespace stage.
This put up particulars the right way to arrange container-based GPU metrics and supplies an instance of amassing these metrics from EKS pods.
Answer overview
To exhibit container-based GPU metrics, we create an EKS cluster with g5.2xlarge situations; nevertheless, this can work with any supported NVIDIA accelerated occasion household.
We deploy the NVIDIA GPU operator to allow use of GPU sources and the NVIDIA DCGM Exporter to allow GPU metrics assortment. Then we discover two architectures. The primary one connects the metrics from NVIDIA DCGM Exporter to CloudWatch through a CloudWatch agent, as proven within the following diagram.
The second structure (see the next diagram) connects the metrics from DCGM Exporter to Prometheus, then we use a Grafana dashboard to visualise these metrics.
Conditions
To simplify reproducing your entire stack from this put up, we use a container that has all of the required tooling (aws cli, eksctl, helm, and so on.) already put in. In an effort to clone the container project from GitHub, you’ll need git. To construct and run the container, you’ll need Docker. To deploy the structure, you’ll need AWS credentials. To allow entry to Kubernetes companies utilizing port-forwarding, additionally, you will want kubectl.
These stipulations will be put in in your native machine, EC2 instance with NICE DCV, or AWS Cloud9. On this put up, we’ll use a c5.2xlarge Cloud9 occasion with a 40GB native storage quantity. When utilizing Cloud9, please disable AWS managed short-term credentials by visiting Cloud9->Preferences->AWS Settings as proven on the screenshot beneath.
Construct and run the aws-do-eks container
Open a terminal shell in your most popular setting and run the next instructions:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-do-eks
cd aws-do-eks
./construct.sh
./run.sh
./exec.sh
The result’s as follows:
You now have a shell in a container setting that has all of the instruments wanted to finish the duties beneath. We’ll seek advice from it as “aws-do-eks shell”. You may be working the instructions within the following sections on this shell, except particularly instructed in any other case.
Create an EKS cluster with a node group
This group features a GPU occasion household of your alternative; on this instance, we use the g5.2xlarge occasion kind.
The aws-do-eks project comes with a group of cluster configurations. You may set your required cluster configuration with a single configuration change.
- Within the container shell, run
./env-config.sh after which set CONF=conf/eksctl/yaml/eks-gpu-g5.yaml
- To confirm the cluster configuration, run
./eks-config.sh
It is best to see the next cluster manifest:
apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5

Deploy the DCGM exporter with the NVIDIA GPU Operator
To deploy the DCGM exporter, full the next steps:
- Put together the DCGM exporter GPU metrics configuration
curl https://uncooked.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/dcgm-exporter/predominant/and so on/dcp-metrics-included.csv > dcgm-metrics.csv
You’ve gotten the choice to edit the dcgm-metrics.csv file. You may add or take away any metrics as wanted.
- Create the gpu-operator namespace and DCGM exporter ConfigMap
kubectl create namespace gpu-operator && /
kubectl create configmap metrics-config -n gpu-operator --from-file=dcgm-metrics.csv
The output is as follows:
namespace/gpu-operator created
configmap/metrics-config created
- Apply the GPU operator to the EKS cluster
helm set up --wait --generate-name -n gpu-operator --create-namespace nvidia/gpu-operator
--set dcgmExporter.config.title=metrics-config

NVIDIA DCGM Exporter exposes a Prometheus metrics endpoint, which will be ingested by the CloudWatch agent. To see the endpoint, use the next command:
kubectl -n gpu-operator get companies | grep dcgm
We get the next output:
nvidia-dcgm-exporter ClusterIP 10.100.183.207 <none> 9400/TCP 10m
- To generate some GPU utilization, we deploy a pod that runs the gpu-burn binary
kubectl apply -f https://uncooked.githubusercontent.com/aws-samples/aws-do-eks/predominant/Container-Root/eks/deployment/gpu-metrics/gpu-burn-deployment.yaml
The output is as follows:
deployment.apps/gpu-burn created
This deployment makes use of a single GPU to supply a steady sample of 100% utilization for 20 seconds adopted by 0% utilization for 20 seconds.
- To verify the endpoint works, you possibly can run a short lived container that makes use of curl to learn the content material of
http://nvidia-dcgm-exporter:9400/metrics
kubectl -n gpu-operator run -it --rm curl --restart="By no means" --image=curlimages/curl --command -- curl http://nvidia-dcgm-exporter:9400/metrics

- On the CloudWatch console, underneath Metrics within the navigation pane, select All metrics
- Within the Customized namespaces part, select the brand new entry for ContainerInsights/Prometheus
For extra details about the ContainerInsights/Prometheus namespace, seek advice from Scraping additional Prometheus sources and importing those metrics.
- Drill all the way down to the metric names and select
DCGM_FI_DEV_GPU_UTIL
- On the Graphed metrics tab, set Interval to 5 seconds
- Set the refresh interval to 10 seconds
You will notice the metrics collected from DCGM exporter that visualize the gpu-burn sample on and off every 20 seconds.
On the Browse tab, you possibly can see the information, together with the pod title for every metric.
The EKS API metadata has been mixed with the DCGM metrics knowledge, ensuing within the offered pod-based GPU metrics.
This concludes the primary method of exporting DCGM metrics to CloudWatch through the CloudWatch agent.
Within the subsequent part, we configure the second structure, which exports the DCGM metrics to Prometheus, and we visualize them with Grafana.
Use Prometheus and Grafana to visualise GPU metrics from DCGM
Full the next steps:
- Add the Prometheus neighborhood helm chart
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
This chart deploys each Prometheus and Grafana. We have to make some edits to the chart earlier than working the set up command.
- Save the chart configuration values to a file in
/tmp
helm examine values prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack > /tmp/kube-prometheus-stack.values
- Edit the char configuration file
Edit the saved file (/tmp/kube-prometheus-stack.values) and set the next possibility by on the lookout for the setting title and setting the worth:

Prometheus and Grafana pods are within the Operating state.
Subsequent, we validate that DCGM metrics are flowing into Prometheus.
- Port-forward the Prometheus UI
There are other ways to reveal the Prometheus UI working in EKS to requests originating exterior of the cluster. We’ll use kubectl port-forwarding. Up to now, we’ve got been executing instructions contained in the aws-do-eks container. To entry the Prometheus service working within the cluster, we’ll create a tunnel from the host. Right here the aws-do-eks container is working by executing the next command exterior of the container, in a brand new terminal shell on the host. We’ll seek advice from this as “host shell”.
kubectl -n prometheus port-forward svc/$(kubectl -n prometheus get svc | grep prometheus | grep -v alertmanager | grep -v operator | grep -v grafana | grep -v metrics | grep -v exporter | grep -v operated | minimize -d ' ' -f 1) 8080:9090 &
Whereas the port-forwarding course of is working, we’re in a position to entry the Prometheus UI from the host as described beneath.
- Open the Prometheus UI
- In case you are utilizing Cloud9, please navigate to
Preview->Preview Operating Software to open the Prometheus UI in a tab contained in the Cloud9 IDE, then click on the 
icon within the upper-right nook of the tab to come out in a brand new window.
- In case you are in your native host or related to an EC2 occasion through distant desktop open a browser and go to the URL
http://localhost:8080.
- Enter
DCGM to see the DCGM metrics which can be flowing into Prometheus
- Choose
DCGM_FI_DEV_GPU_UTIL, select Execute, after which navigate to the Graph tab to see the anticipated GPU utilization sample
- Cease the Prometheus port-forwarding course of
Run the next command line in your host shell:
kill -9 $(ps -aef | grep port-forward | grep -v grep | grep prometheus | awk '{print $2}')
Now we will visualize the DCGM metrics through Grafana Dashboard.
- Retrieve the password to log in to the Grafana UI
kubectl -n prometheus get secret $(kubectl -n prometheus get secrets and techniques | grep grafana | minimize -d ' ' -f 1) -o jsonpath="{.knowledge.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo
- Port-forward the Grafana service
Run the next command line in your host shell:
kubectl port-forward -n prometheus svc/$(kubectl -n prometheus get svc | grep grafana | minimize -d ' ' -f 1) 8080:80 &
- Log in to the Grafana UI
Entry the Grafana UI login display the identical approach as you accessed the Prometheus UI earlier. If utilizing Cloud9, choose Preview->Preview Operating Software, then come out in a brand new window. If utilizing your native host or an EC2 occasion with distant desktop go to URL http://localhost:8080. Login with the consumer title admin and the password you retrieved earlier.
- Within the navigation pane, select Dashboards
- Select New and Import
We’re going to import the default DCGM Grafana dashboard described in NVIDIA DCGM Exporter Dashboard.
- Within the discipline
import through grafana.com, enter 12239 and select Load
- Select Prometheus as the information supply
- Select Import
You will notice a dashboard just like the one within the following screenshot.
To exhibit that these metrics are pod-based, we’re going to modify the GPU Utilization pane on this dashboard.
- Select the pane and the choices menu (three dots)
- Broaden the Choices part and edit the Legend discipline
- Exchange the worth there with
Pod {{pod}}, then select Save
The legend now reveals the gpu-burn pod title related to the displayed GPU utilization.
- Cease port-forwarding the Grafana UI service
Run the next in your host shell:
kill -9 $(ps -aef | grep port-forward | grep -v grep | grep prometheus | awk '{print $2}')
On this put up, we demonstrated utilizing open-source Prometheus and Grafana deployed to the EKS cluster. If desired, this deployment will be substituted with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Amazon Managed Grafana.
Clear up
To wash up the sources you created, run the next script from the aws-do-eks container shell:
Conclusion
On this put up, we utilized NVIDIA DCGM Exporter to gather GPU metrics and visualize them with both CloudWatch or Prometheus and Grafana. We invite you to make use of the architectures demonstrated right here to allow GPU utilization monitoring with NVIDIA DCGM in your personal AWS setting.
