Failed to add event 'RAPL_ENERGY_PKG' to group 'rapl'

[SamuelPelissier]

Hello,
I am currently trying to deploy SmartWatts and it seems the HWPC Sensor fails to add the RAPL_ENERGY_PKG event to the group rapl:

With the following config files.

• For the sensor (output.uri modified, rest is the default) :

{
  "name": "sensor",
  "verbose": true,
  "frequency": 500,
  "output": {
    "type": "mongodb",
    "uri": "mongodb://admin:[email protected]:27017",

      "events": ["TSC", "APERF", "MPERF"]
    }
  },

        "LLC_MISSES",
        "INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED"
      ]
    }
  }
}

• For Smartwatts :

{
  "verbose": false,
  "stream": true,
  "input": {
    "puller": {
      "model": "HWPCReport",
      "type": "mongodb",

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the complete report.
Unfortunately, the Meteor Lake CPUs are currently not supported by the library (libpfm4) we are using to setup the performance counters. Hence, you won't be able to deploy SmartWatts for this machine.

Hello,
Thank you for your quick answer, that explains a lot.
Have a nice day.
