Linux sensors Charts: Not all metrics charts being shown

[meghnamscs]

Problem/Question

My netdata running on v2.1.1 on Linux Machine doesn’t show all the metrics supported under Linux sensors collector. It only shows voltage and current.

Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue

1. Linux Sensors | Learn Netdata
2. Linux Machine Sensors Monitoring | Netdata

Environment/Browser/Agent’s version etc

Netdata: v2.1.1

Type:lxc

O/S version:Ubuntu, 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)

Architecture:aarch64

Kernel:Linux, 5.15.136-tegra

What I expected to happen

I expect all these sensors metrics charts to be shown on the dashboard: Temperature, Fan, Power, Energy, Humidity, Intrusion

Hi, @meghnamscs. Not all systems will expose all sensor types. The sensors available to this collector are limited to those provided by your system’s hardware and enabled through the appropriate kernel drivers.

I will update the description.

Do you expect parity between the old lm-sensors plugin and new Go collector? Because those sensors used to get picked up properly by lm-sensors.

[ilyam8]

The go collector collects all sensors exposed by your system. Anyway, v.2.2.0 contains c implementation of the sensors collector.

I tested v2.2.0 on my machine, it’s the same: I only see Voltage and Current sensors.
