Is there any way to install hardware monitoring tool like lm-sensors on proxmox VE 4.2 (was installed from ISO: https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads)? Or maybe there is another way to monitor host's hardware (cpu/mb/hdd temp, fan speed, etc)?

apt-get result:

root@pve:~# apt-get install lm-sensors
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package lm-sensors

Look's like proxmox use it's own repo, if so how additional repos can be added?

Thanks!

One more question: What monitoring system (with web-interface) can be used on proxmox? or some web front-end for lm-sensors

  • In 4.3 SMART monitoring was added, but it is not enough for me – Yaroslav Dec 11 '16 at 18:07
  • You were doing well until you asked your final question, which made the entire question off topic because you're asking for recommendations on software. Please read "[ask]" and its linked pages. In addition, your question is not as especially good fit for SO as you're asking about general computer software, not code you've written or an application that's directly related to writing code. – the Tin Man Jan 29 '22 at 20:37

no need to add repository if the Debian main one is present in /etc/apt/source.list.

Here is mine : 

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com, NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-no-subscription

Just do apt-get update && apt-get install lm-sensors

  • You can use things like PhpSysInfo but it's probably not a good idea to install it on your hypervisor because it's preferable to keep it clean. – DocGreen Dec 11 '16 at 21:16
  • You could use Munin, Nagios or another monitoring external server to watch temperatures. SMART values are already displayed in Proxmox web interface (node -> disks) – DocGreen Dec 11 '16 at 21:20
  • I decide to create Debian container and use **zabbix**, only zabbix-agent will be installed on host, anyway thanks! – Yaroslav Dec 11 '16 at 21:39

Try to install Netdata (https://www.netdata.cloud), a free monitoring tool, easy to install.
