The Nvidia monitoring setup described at https://elwe.rhrk.uni-kl.de/howto/ worked in Check MK 1.2.8, but fails in 1.4. After some modification things now work – it required some modification of the check script /omd/yoursite/local/share/check_mk/checks/nvidia_smi. The two modifications needed were:

Remove the grouping of nvidia_smi.errors1 and 2 (I can live with this as our GTX1070 doesn’t report this anyway).

Remove the unicode degree characters from the temperature output, as this seems to cause the system to choke on the textual output.

Needed to delete and recreate the host to get it to work properly – possibly unicode characters hanging around in the generated graph definitions or similar?
