check_hw_sensors - monitors sysctl hw.sensors on OpenBSD check_hw_sensors [-i] (-f []|(-s [-w limit] [-c limit])) Usage: -i, --ignore-status Don't automatically check the status of sensors that report it. -f, --filename=FILE FILE to load checks from (defaults to /etc/sensorsd.conf) -s, --sensor=ID ID of a single sensor. "-s kate0.temp0" means hw.sensors.kate0.temp0 Overrides --filename. -w, --warning=RANGE or single ENTRY Exit with WARNING status if outside of RANGE or if != ENTRY -c, --critical=RANGE or single ENTRY Exit with CRITICAL status if outside of RANGE or if != ENTRY FILE is in the same format as sensorsd.conf(5) plus some additional entries. These additional entries in the file are ignored by sensorsd(8) this means you can use the same config file for check_hw_sensors as well as sensorsd(8). check_hw_sensors understands the following entries: low, high, crit, warn, crit.low, crit.high, warn.low, warn.high, ignore, status An ENTRY depends on the type. The descriptions in sensorsd.conf(5) can be used when appropriate, or you can use the following: fanrpm, volts_dc, amps, watthour, amphour, integer (raw), percent, lux or timedelta - Anything that includes digits. Both the value of the check and the value of the sensor response that are not either a digit or period are stripped and then the two resultant values are compared. temp - Can be as above, but if the entry has an F in it, it compares farenheit, otherwise it uses celcius. indicator or drive - does a case sensitive match of each entry in the comma separated list and if it does not match any of the entries, it sets the status. The entries 'crit' or 'warn' (or the -c or -w on the command line) may be a RANGE or a comma separated list of acceptable values. The comma separated list of values contains a list of things that will NOT cause the status. This is possibly counterintuitive, but you are more likely to know good values than bad values. A RANGE is a low ENTRY and a high ENTRY separated by a colon (:). It can also be low: or :high with the other side left blank to only make the single check. An entry marked "ignore" will cause that sensor to be skipped. Generally used with state checking of all sensors to ignore sensors you don't care about or that report incorrectly. If you are using --ignore-status, you can still check the status of individual sensors with a status entry. check_hw_sensors v1.26 Copyright (c) 2009 Andrew Fresh Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.
