proxmox hardware monitoring (system monitor)


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

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


Solution

  • 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
