Use Ubuntu package instead of PIP
Closed this issue · 4 comments
As you're already using Ubuntu, you could as well use Ubuntu Python prometheus client package, instead of using PIP: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/python3-prometheus-client
Also, is there some particular reason for using AWS Ubuntu version instead of official Ubuntu base images: https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu
?
Ubuntu is known for not having the latest packages available so I'm pulling directly from the source (pip) which will always have the latest version.
The image I'm using from ECR is just a mirror of the official dockerhub Ubuntu image, which doesn't have rate limits.

You can always pick a newer version of Ubuntu too, 23.04 includes the second latest version of prometheus client:
- https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/python3-prometheus-client
- https://github.com/prometheus/client_python/releases
And if you're not using the features from the newer releases, does it matter? Ubuntu should at least be providing updates for the known security issues.
Note: I do not have any strong opinion on this. It's just that pypi use in general has some issues: https://lwn.net/Articles/919588/

Oh, I see.

PS. Have you tried Intel XPU manager: https://github.com/intel/xpumanager ?
It offers quite a few additional metrics (and other features) compared to intel_gpu_top.
It will require installing Intel user-space drivers though, as it relies on Sysman API: https://spec.oneapi.io/level-zero/latest/sysman/api.html
Due to that, and few other deps that distros are still lacking, it's better to use Intel's distro driver repos: https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/installation-guides/index.html
(Unless you use container version of XPU Manager from DockerHub, but that's lacking behind XPU manager releases.)
Aye pip npm docker etc.. all have issues with supply chain attacks but I'm not too worried about it here as this is more of a tool to deploy at home.
Feel free to open an issue on supporting xpumanager instead of intel gpu top, looks interesting and I'll take a look into it when I have time. I'm also open to PRs if you wanted to take a look into it as well.
Latest XPUM release is v1.2.11: https://github.com/intel/xpumanager/releases/
There is old official container for v1.0: https://hub.docker.com/r/intel/xpumanager
According to this, it will be updated soon: intel/xpumanager#17
Its exporter is also written in Python, but the whole thing is a quite a bit heavier that yours, so it's nice that you've done a lightweight alternative that works with things already present in distros.
