SENSORSD.CONF(5)             BSD Reference Manual             SENSORSD.CONF(5)

NAME

     sensorsd.conf - configuration file for sensorsd(8)

SYNOPSIS

     sensorsd.conf

DESCRIPTION

     The sensorsd.conf file is read by sensorsd(8) to configure hardware sen-
     sor monitoring. Each entry represents one sensor and may specify high and
     low limits. If the limits are crossed, sensorsd(8)'s alert functionality
     is triggered and a command, if specified, is executed.

     sensorsd.conf follows the syntax of configuration databases as documented
     in getcap(3).

     Example:

           hw.sensors.0:high=80C:command=/etc/sensorsd/log_warning %1 %2
           hw.sensors.1:high=170F
           hw.sensors.2:low=4.8V:high=5.2V
           hw.sensors.3:low=1000:high=8000

     The values for temperature sensors can be given in degrees Celsius or
     Fahrenheit, for voltage sensors in volts, and fan speed sensors take a
     unit-less number representing RPM.

     The command is executed on transitions out of, and back into, given lim-
     its. Tokens in the command are substituted as follows: %1 with the sensor
     number, %2 with the sensor's current value, %3 with the sensor's low lim-
     it, and %4 with the sensor's high limit.
