LM Sensors Input Plugin

This plugin collects metrics from hardware sensors using lm-sensors.

[!NOTE] This plugin requires the lm-sensors package to be installed on the system and sensors to be executable from Telegraf.

⭐ Telegraf v0.10.1 🏷️ hardware, system 💻 linux

Global configuration options

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

toml

# Monitor sensors, requires lm-sensors package
# This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.sensors]]
  ## Remove numbers from field names.
  ## If true, a field name like 'temp1_input' will be changed to 'temp_input'.
  # remove_numbers = true

  ## Timeout is the maximum amount of time that the sensors command can run.
  # timeout = "5s"

Metrics

Fields are created dynamically depending on the sensors. All fields are float.

sensors:
- tags:
  - chip
  - feature
- fields:
  - depending on the available sensor information (float)
