nvgpu-smi-snmp Reviews

Hello, I think there is a small error in the MIB file, the value nvCtrlVideoRamUsed is not in % it is in MiB Can't we just PR here ?

Sourceforge has real issues with excessive punctuation and won't keep formatting, I had to rewrite this several times to pass their parser. I had some issues with the install, here's what I did: installed the libraries as listed in the README, libxml2 and net-snmp. Make fails with errors. This meant absolutely nothing to me but Rich said I ought to install the -dev libraries, so I did installed libxml2-dev and make had fewer errors but still errors, Rich suggested some more -dev libs. Added libsnmp-dev and did ldconfig. Rich was absolutely correct, successful make. Make install puts nvgpu-snmp.so here /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod but looks for it here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod/ so had to fix that. sudo install -d /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod; sudo install -m 644 -s nvgpu-snmp.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod/ Added 'dlmod nvCtrlTable nvgpu-snmp' to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and restarted snmpd 'sudo service snmpd restart' but no joy. snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.42.2; iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.42.2 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID. Started nvgpu_agentxd to see if that worked, it did, okay getting closer ./nvgpu_agentxd snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.42.2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.42.2.1.1.0 = INTEGER: 0 Rich said, You could create a system service to start the thing automatically but frankly it’s probably easier to just add it to cron. crontab -e -u root then add: @reboot /path/to/wherever/nvgpu_agentxd And be done with it… If I was going to stick with only net-snmp, this might have been a viable solution but having net-snmp installed in addition to snmpd broke existing probes as net-snmp bound port 161 before snmpd, so I didn't create this crontab entry. So remove net-snmp and reboot the box. Last hurdle, from the README: If you instead of descriptive human readable strings only see numeric identifiers you might have to add a line to the file /usr/share/snmp/snmp.conf : mibs +=NV-CTRL-MIB. This is incorrect, it should be mibs +NV-CTRL-MIB. Lastly, my /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf was constrained to .1.3.6.1.2, had to open it to .1.3.6.1: view systemonly included .1.3.6.1 and restart snmpd. Now I have no conflicts between net-snmp and snmpd and permitted access to the new mib, wonderful, thanks Rich for all the help, documented to help those who follow in my footsteps and may not have access to a Rich. snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.42.2 NV-CTRL-MIB::nvCtrlGPU.0 = INTEGER: 0

required me to install libxml2-dev in Ubuntu 20.04LTS and I had to move the .so file from /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod/ to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod/ after that worked great, using it to monitor the usage on my GF1660 doing transcoding for plex with the unlocked NvENC patch
