GPU-Monitoring via Slack or Mattermost

In a nut shell

Monitoring of a GPU system sending either Slack or Mattermost messages via webhooks

Requirements

• NVidia® GPU since it is using nvidia-smi to monitor the GPU jobs.
• Linux.
• Python 2 (port to Python 3 should be straightforward).

Usage

1. Create an incoming webhook in Slack or Mattermost and save the web adress of the web hook.
2. Open the file gpumonitor.py and add the web address of the web hook to the mattermostIncomingWebhook variable.
3. Start the gpumonitor.py script

If you would like, you can also install the gpumonitor as an init.d service

1. Copy the gpumonitor.py script to /usr/local/bin/gpumonitor: cp gpumonitor.py /usr/local/bin/gpumonitor
2. Make sure that the file is executable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gpumonitor
3. Copy the file gpumonitor-init.d to /etc/init.d: cp gpumonitor-init.d /etc/init.d/gpumonitor
4. Start the init service via /etc/init.d/gpumonitor start
5. As usual you can monitor the service status via /etc/init.d/gpumonitor status

Options for configuration

• mattermostIncomingWebhook: Web address of incoming Slack or Mattermost webhook
• nvidiaLogoLink: Logo used for the bot in Mattermost
