## Monitor your GPUs

Your mining rig is working hard to make you money. Time is money, and any downtime delays your ROI. Non-working GPUs are therefore costing you money. It's important therefor to monitor and chart your GPUs performance.

I wrote a [script](https://gist.github.com/funkypenguin/456f2b960b62409f1e977df695c62a23),
 which I use with Icinga/Nagios, to alert me if any of my GPUs are misbehaving.

!!! tip
        I share (_with my [patreon patrons](https://www.patreon.com/funkypenguin)_) a private "_premix_" git repository, which includes up-to-date copies of all supporting scripts and tools I produce, meaning patrons just run a "git pull" and they're ready to go! 👍

I use NRPE to execute the GPU-testing script, from my Icinga host (_hopefully a future recipe will cover Icinga_), with a config something like this:

```
# monitor_gpu
dont_blame_nrpe=1
command[check_gpu]=/usr/bin/sudo /opt/minerhotel/scripts/monitor-gpu.sh $ARG1$ $ARG2$
```

And the following to sudoers:

```
nrpe ALL= NOPASSWD: /opt/minerhotel/scripts/monitor-gpu.sh *
```
