Global nvitop: web-based GPU monitoring dashboard for all your remote servers via SSH

gnvitop

Global nvitop — a web-based GPU monitoring dashboard that monitors all your remote GPU servers from a single page.

Like nvitop, but for all your servers at once, displayed as a beautiful web dashboard.

pip install gnvitop
gnvitop

How It Works

1. Monitors local GPU automatically (no config needed)
2. Reads your ~/.ssh/config and SSH into each remote server
3. Runs nvidia-smi to collect GPU stats and per-GPU process/user info
4. Displays everything in a real-time web dashboard with current user highlight
5. Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds

Installation

pip install gnvitop

Usage

gnvitop                              # start and auto-open browser
gnvitop -p 8080                      # custom port
gnvitop --host 0.0.0.0              # expose to LAN
gnvitop --no-browser                 # don't auto-open browser
gnvitop --ssh-config /path/to/config # custom SSH config
gnvitop -v                           # show version

Or run as a module:

python -m gnvitop

Prerequisites

1. SSH config -- your ~/.ssh/config should have server entries:

Host gpu-server-01
    HostName 192.168.1.101
    User alice
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host gpu-server-02
    HostName 192.168.1.102
    User bob

2. SSH key auth -- password-less login should be set up
3. nvidia-smi -- must be installed on the remote servers

Features

• Zero config -- reads ~/.ssh/config automatically, no setup needed
• One command -- pip install gnvitop && gnvitop, that's it
• Local + Remote -- monitors local GPU alongside all remote servers
• Per-GPU users -- shows which users occupy each GPU and their memory usage
• User highlight -- your own processes are highlighted in blue for quick identification
• Auto browser -- opens dashboard in your browser on start
• Real-time -- 30s auto-refresh with manual refresh button
• Concurrent -- queries all servers in parallel (20 workers)
• Fast loading -- background cache warming so the dashboard loads instantly; SSE streaming shows each server as it responds
• Cached -- 30s cache to avoid hammering your servers
• Dark UI -- clean, responsive dark-themed dashboard
• At a glance -- summary bar shows online hosts, total GPUs, idle GPUs, free memory
• Color coded -- green (online), yellow (no GPU), red (offline), blue (local)
• GPU details -- utilization bars, memory bars, temperature with color alerts

Comparison with nvitop

Feature	nvitop	gnvitop
Monitor local GPU	Yes	Yes
Monitor remote GPUs	No	Yes
Multiple servers	No	Yes

Interface	Terminal	Web browser
Setup	Run on each server	Run once, reads SSH config

gnvitop is not a replacement for nvitop -- it's a complement. Use nvitop for detailed local process-level GPU monitoring, use gnvitop to get an overview of all your GPU servers (including local) from one place.
