Intel® Performance Counter Monitor (Intel® PCM) Prometheus exporter Build Status

pcm-sensor-server is a collector exposing Intel processor metrics over http in JSON or Prometheus (exporter text based) format. Also available as a docker container.

Installation on target system to be analyzed:

  1. Build or download pcm tools
  2. As root, start pcm-sensor-server: sudo ./pcm-sensor-server

Alternatively one can start pcm-sensor-server as a container from docker hub.

Additional options:

$ ./pcm-sensor-server --help
Usage: ./pcm-sensor-server [OPTION]

Valid Options:
    -d                   : Run in the background
    -p portnumber        : Run on port <portnumber> (default port is 9738)
    -r|--reset           : Reset programming of the performance counters.
    -D|--debug level     : level = 0: no debug info, > 0 increase verbosity.
    -R|--real-time       : If possible the daemon will run with real time
                           priority, could be useful under heavy load to
                           stabilize the async counter fetching.
    -h|--help            : This information

The PCM exporter can be used together with Grafana to obtain these Intel processor metrics (see how-to):
