New nvidia monitoring

[Tristis Oris]

Introduced with 7.2. Again with absolute lack of documentation.
nothing here https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/nvidia
nothing at wiki.
nice blog https://blog.zabbix.com/see-whats-po...agent_2_plugin

template tell us "1. Setup and configure Zabbix agent 2 compiled with the Nvidia monitoring plugin."
nice. what?

Mixing up something? Links lead to "community templates" and I see versions for older Zabbix versions there also.. but nothing specially for 7.2...
Is this readme not enough ? https://github.com/zabbix/community-...ntegration/7.0

And to be precise... 7.2.1rc1 was the one introducing the official nvidia template.. This is still "release candidate", so it does not have to be described in official docs yet... But you can read its readme here.. https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/...tes/app/nvidia

EDIT: quoting linked blog post

Starting with Zabbix release 7.2.1, the newly released NVIDIA GPU monitoring template and Zabbix agent 2 plugin will allow agent 2 to automatically discover NVIDIA GPUs on Windows and Linux environments and start monitoring items such as GPU temperature, power usage, memory, frequency, and much more. The list of discovered and supported metrics may vary depending on the GPU model.

Starting from 7.2.1... which is an RC at the moment... You should not get mad at prereleases..

The Nvidia plugin is not included by default, so you need to manually load the plugin by both deploying the plugin pack and then adding the required config to your agent config to tell it to load the plugin. While there was a plugin pack released for 7.2.0 it didn't have the Nvidia plugin included, that has only been released as of 7.2.1.

I'm using this plugin pack zabbix_agent2_plugins-7.2.1-windows-amd64.zip from https://cdn.zabbix.com/zabbix/binari...ble/7.2/7.2.1/

And then added something similar to below into the agent config to tell it to load the plugin.

Plugins.NVIDIA.System.Path=C:\Path\To\Your\Plugin\zabbix-agent2-plugin-nvidia-gpu.exe

In terms of the template itself, there didn't appear to be any changes between 7.2.0's version and 7.2.1, the missing piece was simply the plugin. With that loaded you should after a discovery process be able to see GPU data like below.

They do have documentation on it, it's referenced down the bottom of here 2 Plugins

Which will then point you to Browse Zabbix Agent 2 Plugins / NVIDIA GPU - ZABBIX GIT which has a lot more information
