Virtualization and Hardware Monitoring

[Darkn3ss F4lls]

So I?m not familiar, if I do something like this can I actually monitor my hardware ?

Bear metal - Fedora
KVM - Windows 10 and others

If this was the setup on my 3950x, I would like to be able to monitor temperatures from within windows. As it will be using more cores and threads then if it was just native windows. Now is this true ? I?d be running like plex and pihole etc. If I install like msi afterburner, would it see the virtualized things or could it actually see all the processor to monitor the machine from within the daily driver guest ?

What virtualization software? That will help answer the rest of your questions.
Or by kvm do you mean actual kvm/libvirt?
What will your backend be for storage?

It still has the MIBs and such you can do snmp queries against. Also some axl based stuff, depending on base hardware and what vm software you are using. I?m familiar with esxi hypervisers and vCentral/sphere, but also do snmp/axl to the cimc oob management ports for the hardware I use

I guess the bigger question is what polling software are you using, and how much of a deep dive do you want. Also what?s the budget yada yada.. shareware stuff may be limited as I more familiar with enterprise software

Thanks gents, its for home use and home lab so there is no budget like that for sure. Looking to make sure i'm not frying the computer basically as I start using it for multiple tasks at once. Aye, I was referencing KVM/Libvirt as that's what I just learned the last few years. I don't have a enterprise license to run vmware products.

I use Unraid. www.unraid.net

Handles my storage, vms, dockers, everything. Check it out, it's a sweet application if you are looking to build out a home server with everything you need. Handles my home automation, plex server, pihole, cctv cameras, monitoring and whatever else you need.

I use proxmox which doesn't require an enterprise license (unless you want support). That being said, I haven't tried GPU passthru so not sure how you would work around Error 41s in Windows with nVidia...
