Hardware Sensors

Configuration¶

Computer chip temperature data acquisition using the lm-sensors command (currently only support Linux operating system).

Preconditions¶

Run the install command apt install lm-sensors -y
Run the scan command sudo sensors-detect enter Yes for each question
After running the scan, you will see 'service kmod start' to load the scanned sensors, which may vary depending on your operating system.

Collector Configuration¶

Host InstallationKubernetes

Go to the conf.d/sensors directory under the DataKit installation directory, copy sensors.conf.sample and name it sensors.conf. Examples are as follows:

[[inputs.sensors]]
  ## Command path of 'sensors' usually is /usr/bin/sensors
  # path = "/usr/bin/sensors"

  ## Gathering interval
  # interval = "10s"

  ## Command timeout
  # timeout = "3s"

  ## Customer tags, if set will be seen with every metric.
  [inputs.sensors.tags]
    # "key1" = "value1"
    # "key2" = "value2"

After configuration, restart DataKit.

The collector can now be turned on by ConfigMap Injection Collector Configuration.

Metric¶

For all of the following data collections, a global tag named host is appended by default (the tag value is the host name of the DataKit), or other tags can be specified in the configuration by [inputs.sensors.tags]:

[inputs.sensors.tags]
  # some_tag = "some_value"
  # more_tag = "some_other_value"
  # ...
