      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 :

        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 ?

                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.
