This is the official user's manual for the PowerGoblin tool. PowerGoblin is an open source tool for orchestrating a wide range of different measurement schemes, managing the meters, nodes, resource data collection, and logging of the data. PowerGoblin can also be used for generating reports of the measurement session. The dashboard view shows live data that can be used for monitoring different devices and the measurement session.
A typical power measurement setup consists of 1) a controller machine that runs the PowerGoblin service instance, 2) software or hardware power meters, and 3) one or more system(s) under test (SUT). PowerGoblin can measure any devices supported by the power meters, even non-digital ones. We have collected a set of hardware configuration examples that can be used as templates for future measurements.
