#Monitor NPU Usage

If the NPU Exporter component is enabled in the NPUOperatorCtl instance, Alauda Build of NPU Operator deploys the exporter. It creates the ServiceMonitor only when the monitoring namespace exists; otherwise, it skips that optional resource.

#Verify exporter discovery

kubectl -n monitoring get servicemonitor npu-exporter-servicemonitor
kubectl -n npu-exporter get pods -l app=npu-exporter

#ACP dashboards

Dashboard creation and management belong to ACP observability documentation. Use this product page to confirm that NPU metrics are available, then manage dashboard import and layout from ACP.

For dashboard operations, see Manage dashboards.

#Troubleshooting entry

If metrics are missing, check:

• the NPU Exporter component is enabled;
• the exporter pod is running;
• the ServiceMonitor exists in the monitoring namespace;
• the ACP monitoring stack can select and scrape the ServiceMonitor.

For detailed symptoms, see Troubleshooting.
