I’m using ubuntu 20.04 with docker.
Do i have a way to enable in the config “power”, “current now” like so:
batter power = yes
batter voltage_now = yes
Supported metrics according to proc.plugin | Learn Netdata :
- Capacity: The power supply capacity expressed as a percentage.
- capacity_now
- Charge: The charge for the power supply, expressed as amphours.
- charge_full_design
- charge_full
- charge_now
- charge_empty
- charge_empty_design
- Energy: The energy for the power supply, expressed as watthours.
- energy_full_design
- energy_full
- energy_now
- energy_empty
- energy_empty_design
- Voltage: The voltage for the power supply, expressed as volts.
- voltage_max_design
- voltage_max
- voltage_now
- voltage_min
- voltage_min_design
Do you think we should extend exposed metrics and add power and current?
Hi,
It might be Ubuntu 20.04 but something is definitely missing here.
Do i have a way to print the current/voltage value from terminal?
I want to test if it makes sense.
What about upower? upower/src at master · freedesktop/upower · GitHub
I found it installed in ubuntu and it is reporting everything, maybe a plugin for it?
You can simply run cat /host/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/voltage_now.
By using
path="/host/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0"; value=$(echo "scale=1; $(cat ${path}/current_now) * $(cat ${path}/voltage_now) / 10^12" | bc); [[ $value == "0" ]] && echo "" || echo "${value}W"
i do get a reasonable value so my answer is yes, “current_now”, “voltage_now” and its product in “Watts” shall be supported by this plugin so that we can have a clear overview especially when “energy” is not supported (which is strange)
