The HPE + NVIDIA AI Enterprise solution stack includes NVIDIA's Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM) for comprehensive, real-time health and performance monitoring of GPUs. DCGM exposes hundreds of metrics that are crucial for observing AI workloads. These metrics are typically scraped by a time-series database like Prometheus and then visualized using Grafana dashboards. This combination provides the necessary observability into GPU utilization, memory usage, power consumption, and other key performance indicators essential for managing and optimizing AI infrastructure.

B. MS Word charts: MS Word is a word processing application and is not a tool for real-time monitoring or observability of IT workloads.

C. Windows Event Viewer: This is a component of the Windows OS for viewing system logs; it is not a specialized tool for observing GPU-centric AI workload metrics.

D. Citrix Workspace: This is a digital workspace solution for delivering applications and desktops to end-users, unrelated to infrastructure or AI workload monitoring.

1. NVIDIA AI Enterprise Deployment Guide (v5.0): In the section "Monitoring

" it states

"NVIDIA AI Enterprise includes features for monitoring the health and performance of GPUs... These metrics can be integrated with popular monitoring and alerting solutions like Prometheus and Grafana." This directly confirms the use of Grafana for observability. (Source: NVIDIA AI Enterprise Documentation).

2. NVIDIA DCGM Documentation - Integration with Prometheus and Grafana: This official documentation provides a dedicated section on how to use the dcgm-exporter to feed GPU metrics into Prometheus and visualize them with pre-built or custom Grafana dashboards. This is the standard

documented method for achieving observability in this environment. (Source: NVIDIA DCGM Documentation).

3. HPE Reference Configuration for NVIDIA AI Enterprise on HPE ProLiant Servers: These documents detail the validated software stack. In the "Software Overview" or "Management and Operations" sections

they describe the inclusion of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise suite

which contains the necessary monitoring tools (like DCGM) that integrate with platforms like Grafana for a complete observability solution. (e.g.
