Issue Description
Hi! Is there a way that we could check what the current utilization of each NvMedia Engine is? We would like to check the utilization for the Encoder, Decoder, ISP & VIC engines, similar to how we could use tegrastats or htop to look at each CPU usage. This functionality would be beneficial to us, and inform whether we are capping out on each engine.

Unfortunately, the fix is not included in DRIVE OS 6.0.10 release.
Let me see if any easy WAR can be provided on encoder/decoder/vic usage and update you.

Hey @SivaRamaKrishnaNV do you have any updates on this?

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV any updates on querying encoder + decoder + vic usage?

Dear @samuel.ongzx ,
I am still working on it. I will update you status EOW.

Hey @SivaRamaKrishnaNV wondering if you have any updates regarding this? Thanks!

Dear @samuel.ongzx ,
passing config file with (–load_cfg) option to tegrastats did not help to enable the nodes to read.

Does this block your current development?

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV it doesn’t block right now, but we would like to have this functionality since we plan to adjust the encoding bitrate based on the encoder engine usage. Could this feature be enabled easily or would require significant development from NVIDIA side?

Dear @samuel.ongzx ,
May I know the camera configuration, encoding you are looking in use case. How about using nvm_iep_sci and get FPS value for your encoding parameters to know perf impact.
