## What it is
NVIDIA's GPU metrics exporter for Prometheus, built on top of DCGM (Data Center GPU Manager). It exposes GPU telemetry such as clock speeds, temperature, memory usage, and utilization over an HTTP /metrics endpoint, with first-class Kubernetes deployment via Helm.

## Use cases
- monitor nvidia gpu utilization and temperature in prometheus
- export gpu metrics from kubernetes nodes
- scrape dcgm gpu telemetry for grafana dashboards
- track gpu memory usage and clock speeds in a cluster
- set up gpu health monitoring with the nvidia gpu operator
- collect per-gpu metrics on a linux machine with docker

## When to choose
- you run nvidia gpus on linux and want prometheus-compatible metrics
- you need gpu telemetry in kubernetes, ideally alongside the gpu operator
- you want an official, maintained exporter from nvidia

## When to avoid
- you use amd or intel gpus instead of nvidia
- you need a full gpu monitoring dashboard rather than a metrics exporter
- you are not using prometheus or a prometheus-compatible scraper

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
