    How can I add CPU temperature to the Dashboard along with the CPU, Memory etc.?

    Hi,

    You need to make sure that sensors-detect command is present on your machine and initialized.

    If not, install the package called lm_sensors or lm-sensors (depends on your distro) and refresh Dashboard using refresh button at top right of the header. In case it doesn't work, run sensors-detect from console and try again.

    Hi there,

    Not OP, but I am having the same basic question, though I obviously don't know if it stems from a different issue; my lm-sensors & sensors-detect are working and I can even set up a monitor for it under "System and Server Status" (where it reads correct values), yet no temperatures appear on my dashboard nor on the side-dashboard.

    I tried:

    1. Re-running sensors-detect
    2. Restarting webmin (and entire server, after some package updates)
    3. Refreshing on the dashboard top-right corner & in browser
    4. "Refresh Modules"
    5. Switching & updating the theme
    6. Forcing the right side-panel as per your instructions in this GitHub-post

    Have attached screenshots of both dashboard as well as the lm-sensors module under the "System and Server Status".

    Any suggestions on what to try next?

    edit/extra question; any way to also show hdd-temps on the dashboard?

    edit2; after installing Webmin System stats, including the packages I was missing for it (rrdtool & librrds-perl), I now have hdd-temps on my dashboard

    Ilia,

    I ran sensors-detect, and no sensors were found. I'm not sure why. When I run app on my iPhone to connect to my Pi, (SimplePi or PiHelper) I see the temperature of the CPU and the GPU. So maybe since they aren't detected with lm_sensors, that is why they don't show up?

    I see something like this command line that measures GPU temp.
    /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
    How an I now get it to show in Webmin as a graphical display similar to the others in the summary page?

    Any help to get me to the next step is appreciated.

    Thans Ilia. Very good info. Helpful overall. Still not clear to me how to get it built into Webmin interface though.
