LM Sensors Input Plugin
This plugin collects metrics from hardware sensors using lm-sensors.
This plugin requires the lm-sensors package to be installed on the system
and sensors
to be executable from Telegraf.
Introduced in: Telegraf v0.10.1 Tags: hardware, system OS support: linux
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# 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)
- tags:
