temperatures

[BloodyIron]

The information for temperature sensors is a bit sporadic. I've found threads for 1.8, and some other versions, but nothing really solid just yet. I also subscribed to a feature request in the bugzilla tracker, but I have no idea when that's actually going to make it in.

So, who has actually successfully implemented temperature (cpu primarily) sensors into their proxmox installs? I'm looking at 2.3 and the new 3.0.

What sort of challenges have you had? Has anyone had any success with a web gui option?

We are using lm-sensors from the shell, but it only works partially: on some current LGA1155 motherboards (ASUS) it does detect the built-in cpu temperature, but fails to detect any sensors on others (Intel). Previous generation hardware was supported better.

This is how it looks when it's working, on an ASUS Q77 motherboard:

root@proxmox:~# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:       +27.8°C  (crit = +106.0°C)
temp2:       +29.8°C  (crit = +106.0°C)

root@proxmox:~# sensors -v
sensors version 3.1.2 with libsensors version 3.1.2

Hopefully the new PVE 3.0 / Debian 7 release has a newer version of this package, with better support of current hardware.

Thanks! I'm looking to deal with xeon 5100 era systems though so probably better supported
