      Does pfSense support thermal monitoring on the latest HPE Gen10 Plus Microservers running the Intel Pentium G5420? From my understanding, there should be on-die thermal sensors in this Intel chip, but running sysctl -a | grep "temp" gives me only the following:

      net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr: 0
      net.inet6.ip6.temppltime: 86400
      net.inet6.ip6.tempvltime: 604800
      net.inet6.ip6.prefer_tempaddr: 0
      hw.usb.template: 0
      

      As well, I'm expecting there to at least be AHCI thermal reading support, given the vast number of temperature sensors that iLO5 would show on the hardware itself. However, sysctl hw.acpi only gives:

      hw.acpi.reset_video: 0
      hw.acpi.handle_reboot: 1
      hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot: 0
      hw.acpi.verbose: 0
      hw.acpi.s4bios: 0
      hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1
      hw.acpi.suspend_state: NONE
      hw.acpi.standby_state: NONE
      hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE
      hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: NONE
      hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
      hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S5
      

      Does anyone have any insight as to whether this is a hardware on the HP Gen10 Plus Microserver or a software limitation on pfSense?

      P.S: inb4 someone inevitably tells me that MiCrOsErVeRs ArEn'T tHe BeSt PlAtFoRm, I know. I had specific business reasons for choosing this server, and don't need to be told this.
