mx-exporter - MetaX Prometheus Data Exporter

The mx-exporter is a standalone app that can be run as a daemon, written in Python Language, that exports MetaX GPU metrics to the Prometheus server. The mx-exporter uses MXSML C-Library for its data acquisition. The exporter and the MXSML library have a [PYTHON binding] that provides an interface between the MXSML C,C++ library and the PYTHON exporter code.

Build docker image

$ sudo make mxc MACAVER=xxxx ARCH_L=amd64

Run as Docker

$ sudo docker run -d --name=mx-exporter --device=/dev/dri -p 0.0.0.0:<host port>:8000 <image name>

Add “-v /var/lib/kubelet/pod-resources:/var/lib/kubelet/pod-resources” to support export pod resources.

if you want to change port and process interval settings, use this:

$ sudo docker run -d --name=mx-exporter --device=/dev/dri -p 0.0.0.0:<host port>:<http port> <image name> -p <http port> -i <interval>

if you want to use self defined counter configuration file on host, here’s an example:

$ sudo docker run -d --name=mx-exporter --device=/dev/dri -p 0.0.0.0:<host port>:<http port> -v <new config file>:/work/counters.csv <image name> -c /work/counters.csv

Run as python application

$ python3 -m mx_exporter -p <port> -i <interval> -c <config_file>

port: http listen port, default:8000
interval: Metrics gathering interval, default:10000ms
config_file: Metrics configuration file in CSV format, default: ./default-counters.csv
