Introduction
lm_sensors is a free and open-source application that provides tools and drivers for monitoring temperatures, voltage, and fans. This document explains how to install, configure, and use lm_sensors.
Configuration
The lm_sensors service needs configuration in the /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors file, which doesn't exists by default and can be generated by running the sensors-detect tool. This tool will try to identify the kernel's modules needed by sensors and then place them into configuration file to be loaded/unloaded when the service starts/stops.
Beware, when some of these modules are loaded when the tool starts (e.g. from /etc/conf.d/modules or manually) , they will not added into configuration file. When the modules are loaded manually, the result can be, that they will not be loaded on next system (re)start.
