What must I add to unraid to read sensors and control fans? Is there a package or plugin? I'm on 5.0 RC3 and the sensor command doesn't exist.

Trying to figure this out myself.

 

I found the appropriate one to load.. Do I just add:

 

modprobe it87 force_id=0x8721

 

to my go script?

as long as the it87 module exists in your version of unRAID, yes.

It would be really nice to have a plugin for this information & control from the webgui/simplefeatures.

I frequently see suggestions like this. How do we know what modules (and other tools) exist in our version of unRAID? Is there a list? In the wiki? Is there a command to generate a list? Are we talking 5.0RC vs 4.7 or are we talking about custom kernels or some other variation on the version one has?

I do not have all versions of unRAID, but you can easily test if it exists by typing

modinfo it87

on the command line. It will tell you if it does not exist.

 

You can see the full list by typing:

find /lib/modules -type f -print

 

Thanks Joe. Is it just a matter of more modules being added to each unRAID version or is it more complicated?

Yes, over the years, additional modules are added to unRAID as manufacturers create new chipsets and those chipsets end up in the hardware used in unRAID servers.
