Hardware sensors (lmsensors) reading module. This module is used by an
API andpoint that will be submitted separately on the pve-manager repo.
The module queries /sys/class/hwmon to collect sensor readings from CPUs
(Intel, AMD), disks (NVMe, SATA/SAS via drivetemp), and fans through
various hardware drivers (expected to be installed on the pve node).
The module provides functions like read_temperatures() (which can filter
by cpu/disk/other/all types) and read_fan_speeds() that return structured
hashes containing current readings, sensor metadata (driver names, limits,
CPU topology info), and device mappings.
It uses PVE::Tools utilities for file reading and directory traversal.
Example href for temperatures (disk, cpu and others can be read
separately):
# {
# 'coretemp/Core 0' => {
# temperature => 45.0, # in degrees Celsius
# unit => 'celsius',
# type => 'cpu',
# driver => 'Intel',
# max => 100.0, # optional
# critical => 100.0, # optional
# logical_core => 0, # optional, for CPU cores
# physical_core => 0, # optional, for CPU cores
# package => 0, # optional, for CPU cores
# },
# 'hwmon4/Sensor 1' => {
# temperature => 35.0, # in degrees Celsius
# unit => 'celsius',
# type => 'disk',
# driver => 'SATA/SAS',
# device => 'sda', # block device name (for disks)
# },
# 'hwmon1/Composite' => {
# temperature => 42.0, # in degrees Celsius
# unit => 'celsius',
# type => 'disk',
# driver => 'NVMe',
# device => 'nvme0n1', # block device name (for disks)
# },
# 'hwmon2/Composite' => {
# temperature => 43.0, # in degrees Celsius
# unit => 'celsius',
# type => 'disk',
# driver => 'NVMe',
# device => 'nvme1n1', # block device name (for disks)
# },
# ...
# }
Example href for fan speed reading
# {
# 'nct6775/CPU Fan' => {
# speed => 1500, # in RPM
# unit => 'rpm',
# driver => 'Nuvoton',
# min => 0, # optional
# max => 2000, # optional
# target => 1500, # optional
# alarm => 0, # optional, 0 or 1
# },
# ...
# }
