I had tried Netdata last year on a couple Raspberry Pi units and I remember being able to add CPU Temp to the dashboard. When I went back to try Netdata again on a new lab environment I cannot find a way to add CPU Temp. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Hello @Scott_Solomon and welcome into our community
This Linux machine sensors monitoring with Netdata | Learn Netdata might interests you. But this module is enabled out of the box. You should able to see the sensors charts
Tasos.
Edit: You have already installed the This packet is pre-installed with the Agent.lm-sensors package right?
Oh this seems to be an upstream issue with lm-sensors and RPis Support for Raspberry PI 4 · Issue #202 · lm-sensors/lm-sensors · GitHub, what RPi you use, what kernel version it runs and in what host OS?
Just used the link on the Nodes page to install/add to war room. Did not do anything separately to install a lm-sensor package.

Can you try the followings?
-
navigate to your netdata config folder
<installed_path: (default) root folder (/)>/etc/netdata -
Disable the
python sensorsmodule./edit-config python.d.conf, comment in thesensormodule and change it’s value tono -
Enable the old
charts sensorsmodule./edit-config charts.d.conf, add the linesensors=force -
Restart the Agent
systemctl restart netdata
I do not see anywhere in the python.d.conf file that has a “sensors” area to edit… see full text of file below…

Thanks… I’m an idiot!
nothing changed on the dashboard
Thanks… I’m an idiot!
Don’t be hard on yourself, you can easily miss that
You followed all of the steps in this Monitoring CPU Temps on RPiX - #6 by Tasos_Katsoulas commend and a sensors group of charts isn’t appear?
yes… that is correct
If you open a terminal
-
open a shell as
netdatausersudo -u netdata -s -
Navigate under the plugins directory
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d -
run manually the charts plugin
./charts.d.plugin
what do you see after a while?
There is no /opt/netdata directory
sry I have a different path prefix for my netdata installation, updated the path in the instructions above
I have a custom-plugins.d file in my /etc/netdata directory
- Navigate under the plugins directory
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d
I have two Raspberry Pi 3B+ (LibreELEC 9.x).
Latest Netdata in Docker.
A week ago a “cpu_temp” data disappeared in one machine.
Nothing I changed with this machine - even was not home these days.
What I tried:
- restarted netdata conatiner,
- removed & re-installed netdata in container,
none of these helped.
Both machine have SAME hardware & sofware config, on both netdata was installed with SAME command (difference in hostnameonly):
docker run -d --name=netdata \
--pid=host \
--network=host \
--hostname=netdata_rpi_1 \
-v netdataconfig:/etc/netdata \
-v netdatalib:/var/lib/netdata \
-v netdatacache:/var/cache/netdata \
-v /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro \
-v /etc/group:/host/etc/group:ro \
-v /proc:/host/proc:ro \
-v /sys:/host/sys:ro \
-v /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
--restart unless-stopped \
--cap-add SYS_PTRACE \
--cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
--security-opt apparmor=unconfined \

What happened, why cpu_temp data disappeared?
Noticed that RPi-2 (which provides cpu_temp) has this section
and RPi-1 does not.
Checked for a presence of netdata conf file:
docker exec netdata ls /etc/netdata/python.d -la
and the python.d folder is empty.
Hi @rodrigo2 ,
Welcome to the Netdata Community Forums.
Could you confirm which version is actually installed on each RPi? I know you ran the script for the edge but would be good to confirm.

Hugo
