#### Snap for NVIDIA DCGM and DCGM-Exporter

This snap includes NVIDIA DCGM and DCGM-Exporter to manage and monitor NVIDIA GPUs via the CLI or via Prometheus metrics.
Grafana dashboards can then be used to visualize the exported metrics, see for example:
<https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12239-nvidia-dcgm-exporter-dashboard/>

The snap includes the following components:

* DCGM: Data Center GPU Manager
* DCGM-Exporter: a Prometheus exporter for DCGM metrics

Please see the links at the bottom of the page for more details about the included components and their purpose.

**How-To**

---

**How to install the snap:**

```
sudo snap install dcgm
```

**How to enable metrics collection:**

```
# Start the DCGM-Exporter service (disabled by default)
sudo snap start dcgm.dcgm-exporter

# Get the metrics
curl -s localhost:9400/metrics
```

**How to configure the snap services:**

The NV-Hostengine and DCGM-Exporter services can be configured via the `snap` CLI.
For example:

```
# Get all the configuration options
sudo snap get dcgm

# Set the NV-Hostengine port
sudo snap set dcgm nv-hostengine-port=5577

# Restart the NV-Hostengine service to apply the changes
sudo snap restart dcgm.nv-hostengine
```

**Reference**

---

Available configurations options:

* `nv-hostengine-port`: the port on which the NV-Hostengine listens.
  The default is `5555`.
* `dcgm-exporter-address`: the address DCGM-Exporter binds to.
  The default is `:9400`.
* `dcgm-exporter-metrics-file`: the name of a custom CSV metrics file to be loaded by the exporter.
  The path is assumed to be `/var/snap/dcgm/common/`.
  The default metrics are located in `/snap/dcgm/current/etc/dcgm-exporter/default-counters.csv`.
  Please refer to the DCGM-Exporter repository link at the bottom of the page for more information on the CSV file format.

**Cryptography**

---

During the snap build process, snapcraft downloads the CUDA keyring deb package using `curl` over HTTPS and verifies its integrity using SHA256 checksums.
The CUDA keyring deb package is then used to set up the appropriate source for the DCGM deb package, whose signature is verified using the keyring.
For more information, see the CUDA keyring repository link and `curl` documentation at the bottom of the page.
