PROBLEM

While reviewing the vGPUmonitor code for observability gaps, I found two significant issues that impact the stability and accuracy of GPU metrics:

  1. Panic Risk in Host Metrics: The monitor currently uses prometheus.MustNewConstMetric to register host-level GPU memory and utilization metrics. If the underlying NVML library returns unexpected data—such as a missing, empty, or malformed UUID string—MustNewConstMetric will panic and crash the entire monitor process. This is the exact same dangerous pattern that was recently fixed in the scheduler codebase (fix(metrics): replace dangerous MustNewConstMetric with safe helper in scheduler #2326).

  2. Missing GPU Observability for InitContainers: In the collectPodAndContainerInfo function, the monitor only loops through pod.Spec.Containers to collect container-level GPU usage metrics. It completely skips pod.Spec.InitContainers. Since HAMi fully supports GPU allocation in init containers (which are frequently used for heavy tasks like downloading large AI models or dataset preprocessing), operators currently have a massive blind spot. They cannot see the GPU memory or utilization for these init workloads in their dashboards.

SOLUTION

  1. Safe Metric Registration: I replaced the unsafe prometheus.MustNewConstMetric calls with the sendMetric wrapper function. sendMetric safely handles the NewConstMetric error by logging it and returning, rather than crashing the entire application. This brings these two metrics in line with the rest of the codebase.

  2. InitContainer Tracking: I updated the container iteration loop in collectPodAndContainerInfo to combine pod.Spec.InitContainers and pod.Spec.Containers into a single slice before iterating. This ensures that any GPU usage happening during the init phase is successfully tracked and exported to Prometheus, providing true end-to-end observability.

AI DISCLOSURE
I took help of AI to help me understand the problem and probable steps. However I have manually reviewed, tested, and fully understand all the changes introduced in this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when collecting GPU memory and utilization metrics by handling metric-generation errors gracefully.
    • Expanded pod and container monitoring to include both initialization and regular containers.
    • Improved monitoring stability when metric data is incompatible or unavailable, preventing collection issues from affecting other metrics.

Poem

I’m a rabbit checking metrics with care,
GPU errors now safely fare.
Init containers hop in line,
Regular containers follow fine,
And every result is easier to share.

- Line 1: Add the repository-standard Apache 2.0 license header at the beginning
of the Go file, before the package declaration in metrics_extra_test.go.
- Around line 8-16: Reorder imports in the test so standard-library imports come
first, external dependencies including NVIDIA, Prometheus, and Kubernetes
packages come next, and the github.com/Project-HAMi/HAMi imports are in the
final group; configure goimports to recognize the repository module as the local
prefix.
- Around line 55-60: Update the test setup around the map assigned via
reflect.Value.Set so it includes valid usage entries for both init-c1 and c1,
with non-nil Info values so collectPodAndContainerInfo includes them. Drain the
metric channel and assert that metrics are emitted for both container names,
ensuring the test fails if either init-container or regular-container iteration
is removed.

Thanks for the review @mesutoezdil !
I've addressed all three points:

  1. Replaced the fragile count < 2 check with a label-specific assertion that scans for "init-c1" in the emitted metrics. This correctly validates the init-container tracking.
  2. Removed the unsafe/reflect usage in the tests. I added an exported test hook (SetContainersForTest) directly in pkg/monitor/nvidia/cudevshr.go for cross-package test visibility.
  3. an empty UUID is a valid Prometheus label, and NewConstMetric only fails on bad UTF-8 or incorrect label counts. I've noted this, but kept the switch to sendMetric as a consistency cleanup.
    Please take a look when u r free

all three earlier points are addressed. the test now pins init-c1 and the reflection is gone. two small things inline.

Thanks for the review @mesutoezdil
I've addressed both the inline comments in my latest commits:

  1. In cmd/vGPUmonitor/metrics.go, I removed the redundant error logging and the early return. We're now calling sendLegacyMetric directly so that no utilization metrics are dropped.

2 ) In pkg/monitor/nvidia/cudevshr.go, I added the l.mutex.Lock() to SetContainersForTest as suggested, to keep the map access thread-safe.
