Prerequisites

NVIDIA driver loaded on the target host 
 
 nvidia-smi available on PATH (or at a known Windows fallback path) 
 
 Pandora FMS EndPoint >= 7.0 (older versions do not forward CLI flags in module_plugin ) 
 
 The plugin handles missing driver gracefully: it emits GPU_Count=0 (CRITICAL) and exits 0. It does NOT require Python, Perl, or any runtime beyond the binary itself.
