[Monitorix-general] lmsensors configuration

[Steve V. <nu...@ho...>]

Hello, I am new to monitorix, having learned of and installed it only yesterday, so please forgive my ignorance.

I have managed to get most of the graphs configured the way I want them and configured the server to listen on only an internal network address. I have had some trouble with the LMSENSORS graph for two reasons:  My system doesn't have any of the sensors required for some of the graphs and uses the same name for multiple sensor values.  Here's the output from a sensors command on my machine:

steve@mail:/etc/monitorix$ sensors
dell_smm-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
Other Fan:     3114 RPM
Processor Fan: 3148 RPM
Processor Fan: 3137 RPM
Ambient:        +25.0°C
Ambient:        +24.0°C
Ambient:        +27.0°C
Ambient:        +24.0°C

radeon-pci-0200
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +56.0°C

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +54.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +103.0°C)
Core 1:       +55.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +103.0°C)
Core 2:       +55.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +103.0°C)
Core 3:       +56.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +103.0°C)

And here's what the graph looks like:

And finally, here's what I've got for configuration:

# LMSENS graph
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<lmsens>
        <list>
                core0   = Core 0
                core1   = Core 1
                core2   = Core 2
                core3   = Core 3
                mb0     = Ambient
                #cpu0   = CPU Temp
                fan0    = Other Fan
                fan1    = Processor Fan
                #fan2   = Processor Fan
                #volt0  = VCore 1
                #volt1  = VCore 2
                #volt2  = \+3.3V
                #volt3  = \+5V
                #volt4  = \+12V
                #volt5  = \-12V
                #volt6  = \-5V
                #volt7  = Battery
                gpu0    = temp1
        </list>
        <desc>
                mb0     = Case Ambient
                fan0    = Case Fan
                fan1    = CPU Fan
                gpu0    = Radeon GPU
        </desc>
        <alerts>
        </alerts>
</lmsens>

I'm hoping there is a way to do a few things:

  1.  Sensibly map all (I hope) of my sensors output to the graphs
  2.  Find the setting for the min/max values for the various graphs (e.g. the core temps only need 30-70 or so)
  3.  Remove graphs with no data points from the display.

Hopefully someone here will be able and willing to help!  (smile)  Thanks in advance.
