Cockpit Intel GPU Overview

Small Cockpit extension for showing Intel Arc Pro B60 telemetry in Cockpit.

The project has two parts:

• A root-owned systemd exporter that polls xpu-smi and writes read-only JSON to /run/cockpit-intel-gpu/metrics.json plus minute history to /run/cockpit-intel-gpu/history.json.
• A Cockpit package that renders the telemetry as a GPU page, inserts separate GPU and GPU memory rows into the Overview page Usage card, adds a standalone Overview GPU card, and adds a GPU card to the Metrics page.
• The upstream Cockpit Sensors package backed by lm-sensors for host temperature, fan, voltage, and power-style values exposed through the kernel hwmon stack.

The exporter runs as root because Intel GPU utilization and temperature metrics require MEI device access on this host.

Install

From the repository root on the target host:

sudo ./scripts/install.sh

Then refresh the Cockpit browser tab.

This host currently uses xpu-smi from the Intel graphics package feed. Intel's full xpumanager package conflicts with xpu-smi, so do not install both on the same system. Keep xpu-smi for the Cockpit page unless you explicitly want to switch to the full XPU Manager daemon for REST/Prometheus workflows.
