is there a way to check the cpu temperature of the unraid server? thank you

is there a way to check the cpu temperature of the unraid server?

 

One way would be with a meat thermometer. But first you have to put some meat on the CPU grill.

 

Another way would be (provided you are using unRAID version 4.5-beta4 or later) the 'lm_sensors' package:

Telnet to your server and type:  sensors

 

No guarantee that your chip sensors will display accurate readings though. 

Mine have been showing temperatures like 100 C (212 F) since day one of my server,

but my CPU isn't very warm to the touch.  So I don't bother watching those readings.

Another way is to install unMenu and select the System Info page, then the CPU Info button, which will display a page that includes CPU temp sensor readings. That way you can check from your browser at any time without having to open a telnet session. Plus you'll have all the other unMenu goodies.

That will work if the "sensors" module is defined for your CPU  (alas, for my old Intel MB, it is not)

I would like someone to test this theory, and find out how accurate the readings are!

LOL!

Is it possible to add manualy the missing module ?

It doesn't seem like my AMD Sempron is reporting any sensors either

The module may be there but just not loaded. Do you see it in the output of lsmod? If not, have you tried loading it with modprobe?

Sorry, linux n00b here, can you say that in plain English? Basically, I just went into unMENU and saw nothing under probes.

 

I just puttied and typed lsmod and I see the following modules: md_mod, xor, atiixp, ahci, r8169.

On my Semperon 140 running my BioStar board I just type this

 

cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature

 

Of course I just created a little file in my \\flash\scripts\cpu_temp

 

I just run it now and then. I don't know if its accurate or not, but when I'm tinkering around at command line I can easily check it

 

I attached it for those lazy people. Just remove the .txt

cpu_temp.txt

But that would require telnet/console. Are you able to do it via the web interface?

Not that I know of. Sorry

Any update on this? I can't see the temps on my Sempron 140 in unMenu, there is nothing reported at the bottom of the page. I also tried the cat... command and it said no such file found. Any ideas?

If you are trying to monitor it for overheating during a process you could use a shell script that polls it every 5 seconds.

 

#!/bin/sh
while [ true ]; do
sensors
sleep 5
done
