DPUs

With the NetQ UI, you can monitor hardware resources of individual data processing units (DPUs), including CPU utilization, disk usage, and memory utilization. For DPU inventory information, refer to DPU Inventory.

You must install and configure install and configure the DOCA Telemetry Service to display DPU data in NetQ.
