jetson-stats-grafana-dashboard

Introduction

This project is a Grafana dashboard, driven by a Prometheus metrics collector, for monitoring NVIDIA Jetson Nano operating autonomously in a headless fashion.

Prerequisites

The following hardware and software should already be configured and operational:

• NVIDIA Jetson device
• A host running Grafana
• A host running Prometheus

Installation

Jetson Device

1. Install dependencies in 'requirments.txt' file

2. Next, install the collector with 'install.sh' bash script

   nvidia@agx-desktop $ sudo bash install.sh

Note: The Prometheus metrics collector listens on port 8000 by default. If you wish to change this you will need to edit the jetson_stats_prometheus_collector.service file and change the --port argument to your required port number.

Prometheus Metrics Collection

1. Open the Prometheus config:

   $ sudo nano /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

2. Add metrics collection job config for the Jetson device

   scrape_configs:
     - job_name: 'nvidia_jetson'
       static_configs:
       - targets: ['JETSON_HOST_IP:JETSON_PROMETHEUS_COLLECTOR_PORT']

3. Restart the Prometheus service for the changes to take effect

   $ sudo systemctl restart /etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service

Grafana Dashboard Panel

1. From the Grafana Admin Dashboard select +Create -> Import

2. Open the file jetson_stats_grafana_dashboard.json and change the __inputs entry for the DS_MY_PROMETHEUS value to your prometheus name and save the file

3. Next, copy and paste the contents of modified jetson_stats_grafana_dashboard.json into the text box named Import via panel json or select the file using the Upload JSON file button

4. The jetson-stats-grafana-dashboard should now be available
