Hi @K_Sai_K ,

Yes, we can discover the GPU value for linux server. Please follow below steps to get GPU Value. 

Step 1) Create Custom variables for these GPU fields as these are not supported by ootb. 

Step 2) Connect with your Linux team. To understand which commands to run from the pattern debugger to get these values. For Example, If you need to get  GPU Count, we can run  lspci | grep -i "vga\|3d\|display" | wc -l or  sudo lshw -C display | grep "product" | wc -l. Your linux team, will help you decide which commands to use to get these values as per your environment

Step 3) Create an pattern extension step on the Linux server pattern to get these values. Parse the values and populate on the custom variables.

Hi,

I believe it'll depend on the GPU manufacturer. If you look at the existing Linux Server pattern, you can see it uses cat /proc/cpuinfo to retrieve cpu data.

You could try cat /proc/bus/pci/devices and parse the output. lspci unix command might provide additional data to cat /proc*
