Collection Methods

Splunk AppDynamics GPU Monitoring supports these data collection modes:

  • NVIDIA-SMI Collector: A lightweight, zero-dependency approach that uses the native NVIDIA-SMI CLI. See Configure the NVIDIA-SMI Collector.

  • DCGM Exporter:

    • NVIDIA's Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM) Prometheus exporter for high-frequency sampling.

    • Available as both a standalone node agent and as a Kubernetes DaemonSet. Using Cluster Agent, it provides end-to-end GPU monitoring in Kubernetes environments, capturing granular metrics at the pod and container levels. See Configure the DCGM Exporter.
