Intel GPU Stats from intel_gpu_top

It would be great is Astra Monitor could show Intel Arc GPU stats from intel_gpu_top

Adding intel_gpu_top was on the roadmap, but the problem is that I can't get my hands on compatible hardware and I don't know how to test the feature as I implement it. If you're willing to help, you could assist me with some tests to see if it's feasible.

I took a look at the source and you should try running this command in the terminal (for now, I would ignore the -p and -m options):

intel_gpu_top -J -o -

It should print out messages every second. After 2 or 3 iterations, you can stop the command with ctrl+c and paste the output here, preferably in a file if you can. To send the output directly to a file, you can do the following:

intel_gpu_top -J -o - > output.txt

and you should have the output in the output.txt file inside your user folder.

Thanks!

Sure no problem, here you go
intel_gpu_top.txt

Okay, the dataset seems to be very limited, but I think we can do some basic initial support. I will try to sketch out Intel GPU Top Support over the course of May. If you stick around, when I can I will upload here a test build to install and check that everything is working properly.

I believe that there is also a different way to get GPU load and memory usage.

Another monitoring tool called Resources is using it, I think here https://github.com/nokyan/resources/blob/main/src/utils/gpu/mod.rs. Maybe it is hwmon.

Resources successfully gets GPU usage for my Intel Skylake GPU without root permissions.

We already support hwmon on the sensors section, but it is very limited compared to dedicated tools like intel_gpu_top. I haven't managed to put my hands on a device with an intel gpu yet to develop and test this feature.
