1. NVIDIA Maps Full-Stack Observability Choices for AI Factories

NVIDIA. NVIDIA published a guide to choosing full-stack observability for AI factories, mapping infrastructure layers to specialized monitoring tools including DCGM and NVSM for GPU and compute health, UFM for InfiniBand fabric, NetQ for Ethernet and RoCE networks, BCM for cluster aggregation, and Run:ai and NIM for workload and inference monitoring. The post emphasizes minimizing tool overlap and avoiding “watermelon metrics” that look green while services degrade underneath, using a scenario where link-level bit errors quietly sap distributed training throughput. It frames observability maturity by whether signals surface the failing component before significant compute is wasted. Source
