NVIDIA vGPU Alert Definitions#

The management pack provides alert definitions for the NVIDIA vGPU metrics and analytics that it integrates with VMware Aria Operations. Each alert definition is a combination of symptoms that identify a problem area and generate alerts for that area.

Alerts defined for GPU utilization can be generated by any of the GPU engines, namely:

  • 3D/Compute

  • Memory controller

  • Video encoder

  • Video decoder

GPU Utilization Is High#
