Power Monitoring for a Docker Container

[nee1k]

Is there a way to monitor the power consumption of Docker containers running on Jetson devices using jtop.

I would like jtop to include container-specific power monitoring for CPU and GPU usage.

This feature would help users monitor power usage for containerized AI or edge applications on Jetson devices more efficiently.

Hi @nee1k

You can run jtop from Docker

You can try this test:

1. Install jetson-stats on your host
2. Install jetson-stats on your container as well
3. Pass to your container /run/jtop.sock:/run/jtop.sock

docker run --rm -it -v /run/jtop.sock:/run/jtop.sock rbonghi/jetson_stats:latest

More details are here: https://rnext.it/jetson_stats/docker.html

Thank you for replying.

Does the above method measure the power consumption of the entire jetson or just the docker container?

The power consumption is from the whole Jetson. jtop reading the internal sensors of the board
