SENSORSD.CONF(5) BSD Reference Manual SENSORSD.CONF(5)NAMEsensorsd.conf - configuration file for sensorsd(8)SYNOPSISsensorsd.confDESCRIPTION
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.
