Temperature Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics on system temperatures.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.8.0 Tags: hardware, system OS support: linux, macos, windows

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

# Read metrics about temperature
[[inputs.temp]]
  ## Desired output format (Linux only)
  ## Available values are
  ##   v1 -- use pre-v1.22.4 sensor naming, e.g. coretemp_core0_input
  ##   v2 -- use v1.22.4+ sensor naming, e.g. coretemp_core_0_input
  # metric_format = "v2"

  ## Add device tag to distinguish devices with the same name (Linux only)
  # add_device_tag = false

Troubleshooting

On Windows, the plugin uses a WMI call that is can be replicated with the following command:

wmic /namespace:\\root\wmi PATH MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature

If the result is “Not Supported” you may be running in a virtualized environment and not a physical machine. Additionally, if you still get this result your motherboard or system may not support querying these values. Finally, you may be required to run as admin to get the values.

Metrics

• temp
  • tags:
    • sensor
  • fields:
    • temp (float, celcius)
