Preconfigured Dashboards

NVIDIA Minerva includes preconfigured dashboards for monitoring AI factory infrastructure. Dashboards are organized into two suites: AI Factory Networking covers GPU, NVLink, and Spectrum-X Ethernet fabric health; Full Stack correlates infrastructure health with active job workloads.

  • AI Factory Networking: provides multi-layer visibility across the entire fabric:

    • Node and GPU: per-node and per-GPU performance tracking.

    • NVLink: monitoring of NVLink interconnect health between GPUs.

    • Spectrum-X: observability into the Spectrum-X Ethernet fabric, including RDMA performance, switch-localized congestion, and port-level statistics.

  • Full Stack: correlates infrastructure health with specific workload IDs. By mapping GPU utilization, NVLink errors, and thermal data directly to active jobs, you can determine whether a performance dip is caused by hardware degradation or inefficient job scheduling.
