With the NetQ UI, you can monitor hardware resources of individual data processing units (DPUs), including CPU utilization, disk usage, and memory utilization. For DPU inventory information, refer to DPU Inventory.

You must install and configure install and configure the DOCA Telemetry Service to display DPU data in NetQ.

View Overall Health of a DPU

For an overview of the current or past health of DPU hardware resources, open the DPU device card.

View DPU Attributes

For a quick look at the key attributes of a particular DPU, expand the DPU card.

Attributes are displayed as the default tab on the large DPU card. You can view the static information about the DPU, including its hostname, ASIC vendor and model, CPU information, OS version, and agent version.
