View the CPU and GPU Statistics

There are two ways to view the CPU and GPU statistics. One method is to view this data in the Dashboard System Properties widget in "Live Mode" and the other method is to view the CPU and GPU in the Dashboard CPU and GPU widgets, which show live and historical data.

In the System Properties widget's "Live Mode" you will be able to view Load, Temperatures, and Fan Speed only in real-time. In the CPU widget you will be able to view the Utilization in real-time. In the GPU widget you will be able to view the Utilization and Temperature in real-time. Both the CPU and GPU widgets can display the history, which will allow you to view the data at various moments in time.

Note: Fan Speed is only reported on desktop machines, and only in real-time in the Dashboard System Properties widget. Currently, the CPU and GPU widgets do not report Fan Speed.

Locating the Machine

To find the machine that you want to view the CPU and GPU statistics, complete the following steps:

  1. Open CommandCTRL.

  2. In the side navigation panel, go to Inventory > Machines.

  3. On the Machines screen, locate and click the name of the machine for which you want to view.

    The Dashboard displays.

  4. Proceed to any of the following sections to view the CPU and GPU statistics in either the System Properties and/or CPU and GPU widgets.

CPU

In the System Properties widget's "Live Mode" you will be able to view Load and Temperatures only in real-time. In the CPU widget you will be able to view the Utilization in real-time and in the history, which will allow you to view the data at various moments in time.

To view the CPU statistics, complete the following steps:

System Properties Widget

Real-Time Load or Temperature

  1. Complete the steps in Locating the Machine above and then the following steps.

  2. In the System Properties widget, located on the top right, click the Hardware Information icon.

    The Hardware Information dialog box appears.

  3. Click the drop-down next to the machine to expand it and view the hardware.

  4. Click the drop-down next to the CPU.

  5. Click either the Load or Temperatures drop-down to view all the load or temperature measurements in real-time.

    Note: The CPU Total displays the average Load in percentage of all the cores. The CPU Package displays the highest Temperature in degrees of all the cores. Both measurements are in real-time.

  6. Click the Close button in the lower right corner to close the Hardware Information dialog box.

Enable/Disable Hardware Monitor On Agents

To enable or disable the Hardware Monitor, complete the following steps:

  1. In the side navigation panel, go to Settings > Site.

  2. In the Agent Settings section, locate Enable/Disable Hardware Monitor On Agents and click the toggle to the desired position (on displays in red). Hardware Monitor is enabled by default.

CPU Widget

Real-Time Utilization

  1. Complete the steps in Locating the Machine above and then the following steps.

  2. In the CPU widget, on the left side, view the real-time Utilization of the CPU.

Utilization History

  1. To view the history of the CPU's Utilization, click the icon. This displays the daily history for that machine.

  2. Click any of the days to display the hours in a day.

  3. Click an hour to display a recording of the entire hour for that machine and all the metrics in the Dashboard widgets as the time-line progresses.

    You can click the turtle icon to slow down the speed, the rabbit icon to increase the speed, the pause icon to pause the recording, or the play icon, which only appears if the recording was paused, to play the recording.

GPU

In the System Properties widget's "Live Mode" you will be able to view Load and Temperatures only in real-time. In the GPU widget you will be able to view the Utilization and Temperature in real-time and in the history, which will allow you to view the data at various moments in time.

To view the GPU statistics, complete the following steps:

System Properties Widget

Real-Time Load and Temperature

  1. Complete the steps in Locating the Machine above and then the following steps.

  2. In the System Properties widget, located on the top right, click the Hardware Information icon.

    The Hardware Information dialog box appears.

  3. Click the drop-down next to the machine to expand it and view the hardware.

  4. Click the drop-down next to the GPU.

  5. Click either the Load or Temperatures drop-down to view all the load or temperature measurements in real-time.

    Note:

    The GPU Total displays the average Load in percentage of all the cores. The GPU Package displays the highest Temperature in degrees of all the cores. Both measurements are in real-time.

    GPU Load and Temperature in the System Properties widget are also provided by the Hardware Monitor. To control it, use the Enable/Disable Hardware Monitor On Agents setting in Settings > Site.

  6. Click the Close button in the lower right corner to close the Hardware Information dialog box.

GPU Widget

The Dashboard GPU widget is able to access many different GPU manufacturers and models, however if no data is displayed in the widget, then most likely you will be able to view the real-time data in the System Properties widget since that widget has access to a database of many GPU manufacturers and models.

Real-Time Utilization and Temperature

  1. Complete the steps in Locating the Machine above and then the following steps.

  2. In the GPU widget, on the left side, view the real-time Utilization of the GPU.

  3. In the GPU widget, on the right side, view the real-time Temp of the GPU.

Utilization and Temperature History

  1. To view the history of the GPU's Utilization and Temp, click the icon. This displays the daily history for that machine.

  2. Click any of the days to display the hours in a day.

  3. Click an hour to display a recording of the entire hour for that machine and all the metrics in the Dashboard widgets as the time-line progresses.

    You can click the turtle icon to slow down the speed, the rabbit icon to increase the speed, the pause icon to pause the recording, or the play icon, which only appears if the recording was paused, to play the recording.

Fan Speed

In the System Properties widget's "Live Mode" you will be able to view a desktop machine’s Fan Speed only in real-time.

Note: Fan Speed is only reported on desktop machines, and only in real-time in the System Properties widget. Currently, the CPU and GPU widgets do not report Fan Speed or its history.

To view the Fan Speed statistics, complete the following steps:

System Properties Widget

Real-Time Fan Speed

  1. Complete the steps in Locating the Machine above and then the following steps.

  2. In the System Properties widget, located on the top right, click the Hardware Information icon.

    The Hardware Information dialog box appears.

  3. Click the drop-down next to the machine to expand it and view the hardware.

  4. Click the drop-down next to the CPU.

    Note: If there are other fans inside the desktop, such as a case fan, it is possible to select the hardware and view the fan speeds and temperature inside the case.

  5. Click Fans drop-down to view all the measurements in real-time.

    Note: The Fan Speed Total is an average speed in percentage. The Fan Speed Package is an highest speed. Both are in real-time.

  6. Click the Close button in the lower right corner to close the Hardware Information dialog box.
