      Yup that^.

      But the 4200 should show the temp of each CPU core. There's a widget you can add to the dash or:

      [25.11-BETA][admin@4200.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl -a | grep temperature
      hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 46.1C
      dev.cpu.3.temperature: 41.0C
      dev.cpu.2.temperature: 41.0C
      dev.cpu.1.temperature: 41.0C
      dev.cpu.0.temperature: 42.0C

        @Gertjan Hmmm... I did not see another command, and I tried this various times and wait times afterward.

          Thanks, Everyone! I'm trying to get a baseline, so I'll have that information for troubleshooting later.

          It may not be possible for them to get that hot. ;)

          LOL. Sure.

            I did not see another command

            I'll highlight :

            38d06610-3002-45d2-963c-5571f28839fe-image.png

            But why looking, as it seems that a RISC processor doesn't have/need a temperature measurement device. These use so little power that they can't heat.

            Intel/AMD processors are called "irons" for a reason.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Well I wouldn't agree that they can't get hot enough. They definitely can! But they don't have a sensor that FreeBSD can usefully read.

                @Joe0x7F I don't think the ARM devices have a temperature. It may not be possible for them to get that hot. ;)

                It does show on the 4200 though.

                At least the 3100 do have a sensor. 😉

                    Guidance ?

                    @patient0 said in How to read CPU temperature on 1100, 2100, and 4200?:

                    no hardware temperature sensor for 2100 and 1100, as stephenw10 explained in another post (use the search, Luke):

                    the others do have a sensor.

                        @OpIT-GmbH I hope you’re doing well. I’m having some difficulties configuring PRTG and would really appreciate your help with setting up a temperature graph.

                          First you need to setup NET-SNMP

                          We are using NET-SNMP und PRTG

                          CPU_Temperatur
                          /sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.0.temperature | tr -d C

                          System_Updates
                          /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-upgrade -c

                          Package_Updates
                          /usr/sbin/pkg upgrade

                          Then you Setup SNMP Sensor in PRTG

                          Temp: We are using NET-SNMP und PRTG with a Custom OID, die OID depends on your Netgate. Here is what we use for 4100, witch one are u using?

                          Temperature:
                          1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.4.1.2.17.67.80.85.95.84.101.109.112.101.114.97.116.117.114.70.105.120.1

                          System Updates:
                          1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.4.1.2.17.83.121.115.116.101.109.95.85.112.100.97.116.101.115.70.105.120.4

                          Package Updates: 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.4.1.2.18.80.97.99.107.97.103.101.95.85.112.100.97.116.101.115.70.105.120.9

                            Great! I see what you’ve set up. I’m using custom hardware, and in addition, I’ve taken the following steps for the configuration and works!:

                            1- Add the following lines to your snmpd.conf file (Multiples CPU cores):

                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.0.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.1.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.2.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.3.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.4.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.5.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.6.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"
                            extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.7.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'"

                            6590abd6-87e7-4927-a972-e15eab52c07f-image.png

                            2- Verify the return string information.

                            command:
                            snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull

                            Result:
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu0" = STRING: 39.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu1" = STRING: 40.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu2" = STRING: 37.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu3" = STRING: 38.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu4" = STRING: 37.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu5" = STRING: 38.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu6" = STRING: 41.0
                            NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu7" = STRING: 42.0

                            c97be0c5-31dd-4554-a4c7-27d0094a167d-image.png

                            3- Get the OID value corresponding to each individual CPU core.

                            Command:
                            snmptranslate -On 'NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu0"'

                            Result:
                            .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.3.1.2.9.116.101.109.112.95.99.112.117.48

                            bfc00e8f-cc48-4f31-a8d4-d53c24a88ef9-image.png

                            Repeat for each CPU Core to have 08 OIDs.

                            On the PRTG side, perform the following steps:

                            1- Add SNMP Custom Advanced

                            495d657f-8e6f-4b74-81e1-543f4dd37f29-image.png

                            2- Fill up the information for each CPU:

                            Sensor Type: SNMP Custom Advanced (supports up to 10 channels)

                            Channel 1: Name CPU0, OID = numeric for "temp_cpu0", Unit = °C, Value Type = Float/Gauge

                            Channel 2: Name CPU1, OID = numeric for "temp_cpu1", Unit = °C, Value Type = Float/Gauge

                            … up to CPU7

                            db1ddb5b-ac5d-4d29-ad03-0c4b8b22c143-image.png

                            3- The graph is populated for each CPU core.
