Proxmox 3.3 install - temperature monitoring?

[Dave Trouser]

Just recently discovered Proxmox, and thought I'd try it out on a simple test machine, so I have 3.3 installed and running nicely with 3 KVMs. It's great, but it'd be good to be able to track the CPU temperature in the web interface of a node, and maybe the HDDs. Is there a way to do this? Or at least be able to query for CPU temp via a terminal.

When I did a search, all I found was info on much older versions, using lm-sensors. I did try and see if the commands mentioned would work, but they don't seem to exist on 3.3.

eg, "sensors" results in a "bash: pve: command not found".
Am I missing something really basic here?

It's probably not relevant to the question, but the hardware is:

Intel DQ45CB mainboard
Intel Xeon X3210 CPU (Quad 2.13GHz)
8GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
60GB SSD for the Proxmox install
500GB HDD for KVM etc storage

Thanks!

When sensors-detect the prober modules and after they are loaded into the kernel you will see something like below (AMD opteron):

Thank you! It only found the CPU temperatures via the ISA bus - absolutely nothing else, no fan speeds nothing! At least I can check core temps now, thank you. Is there a way for this to be displayed on the live web GUI readouts? All I could find in a search was a vague reference to adding graphs by someone asking a similar question to me here: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/19908-Adding-a-new-datastream-to-display-more-information-on-theIs there documentation on adding graphs? I can't find any.

I tried replying to this a few days ago, but it never got posted. I got lm-sensors installed, but it can only show the CPU temp (which is fine). Thanks for your help on that.
I had posed a related question in another thread, but the thread is missing now and my post no longer shows up in the list of my posts - thread deleted?
It was asking for a way to add the sensor readouts as a graph on the Proxmox node summary screen - is that possible? Google search shows up nothing useful. The thread that I now can't find was started by someone who said they had added a new graph but could not get sensors working - but they did not mention how they added the graph!

I have no idea.
