hardware monitor application

[john2018]

Is there a decent hardware application that reports system temps, fans and voltages etc?
Something that runs in real time mirroring the UEFI bios info would be perfect.

Is there anything or anything close?
(Something I don't have to jump through hoops to install ideally)

TIA

Some server vendors provide their own management software. For example, I'm happy with Dell's OpenManage Server Administrator which provides a nice omreport tool for getting all kinds of information from the system.

The lm_sensors package does a fairly good job if the hardware is old enough to be supported. Just yum install lm_sensors then run sensors-detect as root - possibly at a time when it won't matter if it crashes your server... it never has for me but it does give some nasty looking warnings when you run it.

Also lm_sensors have a configuration folder (/etc/sensors.d) where you can create your own configuration and manage the alarm levels.
Here is a short example:

Code: Select all

chip "nct6776-isa-0290"
	label temp1 "VRM TEMP"
  	label temp2 "SOCKET TEMP"
	set temp1_max 65
  	set temp1_max_hyst 60
	set in1_min 1.748
	set in1_max 1.932
	set in4_min 1.406
	set in4_max 1.554
	set in5_min 1.577
	set in5_max 1.743
	set in6_min 0.683
	set in6_max 0.836
	ignore intrusion0
	ignore intrusion1
	ignore temp7
	ignore temp8
	ignore temp9

Another configuration file is '/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors', while the service file is 'lm_sensors.service'.
And here is a short example of a script that monitors the temps:

Code: Select all

# cat /usr/local/bin/TEMP_MON.sh
#!/bin/bash

STATUS=$(/bin/sensors | grep ALARM)

if [ -z "$STATUS"  ] 
	then exit 0;

	else 
		echo "There is a problem with YOUR TEMPERATURES.Promlem is: $STATUS" >&2
		echo "TEMP_MON detected issues.Problem is: $STATUS" | mail -s TEMP_MON hunter86_bg@yahoo.com
fi
exit 0

thanks I'll check those out.
