4. Working RRD Graphs of coretemp CPU values

Working RRD Graphs of coretemp CPU values

  • C

    Warning !!
    I have fiddled with pfsense for a week. I know basically nothing about FreeBSD, apart from what I have learnt this week, and a FreeNAS install about a year ago.
    These forums have been very helpful with setting up my box. I greatly appreciate the time people spend writing up stuff to help people like me.

    I don't know php, but I can read and google. There are awk commands here that I have no idea how they work.
    I copy and paste in small increments, make little shell scripts to test and backup backup backup.
    At one stage I stuffed up the rrd.inc file, a " without a " and had to use vi to fix it from the console, also had some whitespaces on the end of a line. No networking nothing.

    Be careful following the blind.

    However I do get CPU core temps on an RRD graph now under the System category. The wrong values, but they are what coretemp reports via dev.cpu.x.tempertaure

    1. Install coretemp as per forum http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,39595.0.html - Thanks. mbmon didn't work for me either.
    2. Modify /etc/inc/rrd.inc so that rrdupdate.sh gets modified to include the data from coretemp.
    3. Modify /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph_img.php

    Done

    I used WinSCP to edit the files, use whatever you find easiest/safest.
    I copied them to my windows box, then edited them then copied them back. Leaving the original file with a new name. If things went bad, I just had to copy the original file back and reboot from the console.
    I added the info for the CPU temps after the Memory code, as it seemed the closest to what I wanted to do. i.e. it was also using sysctl to gather data.

    1. Follow http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,39595.0.html
    make sure you get something useful from

    sysctl -n dev.cpu.0.temperature

    Also try sysctl dev.cpu

    This showed me initially that I didn't have powerd running, so the CPU was always running at 1.66, instead of slowing down when idle.

    2. Make a backup of /etc/inc/rrd.inc
      copy /etc/inc/rrd.inc to your windows box using WinSCP
      edit /etc/inc/rrd.inc with something like Notepad++, not windows Notepad.

    Add a line after 175
    Line 175: $mem = "-memory.rrd";
    Line 176: $cputemp = "-temperature.rrd";
    Line 177: $cellular = "-cellular.rrd";

    Add a line after 204
    Line 204: $rrdmeminterval = 60;
    Line 205: $rrdcputempinterval = 60;
    Line 206: $rrdcellularinterval = 60;

    Add a line after 219
    Line 219: $memvalid = $rrdmeminterval * 2;
    Line 220: $cputempvalid = $rrdcputempinterval * 2;
    Line 221: $cellularvalid = $rrdcellularinterval * 2;

    Add this after line 615

    Line 615: /* End Memory statistics */

    /* CPU Temperature /
    /     the CPU Temperature gathering Function. /
    /     This is for an ATOM D510 and coretemp which reports 4 cores with very low figures /
    /     It seems that adding the 4 core temps , then halving is very close to the BIOS temp reading, but not the same /

    /     Need more fiddling with values yet, but graphs work - bad data though */

    /* Cpu Temp, create CPU Temperature database */
    if(! file_exists("$rrddbpath$ifname$cputemp")) {
    $rrdcreate = "$rrdtool create $rrddbpath$ifname$cputemp –step $rrdcputempinterval ";
    $rrdcreate .= "DS:cpu0temp:GAUGE:$cputempvalid:-273:5000 ";
    $rrdcreate .= "DS:cpu1temp:GAUGE:$cputempvalid:-273:5000 ";
    $rrdcreate .= "DS:cpu2temp:GAUGE:$cputempvalid:-273:5000 ";
    $rrdcreate .= "DS:cpu3temp:GAUGE:$cputempvalid:-273:5000 ";

    create_new_rrd($rrdcreate);
    }

    /* enter UNKNOWN values in the RRD so it knows we rebooted. */
    if($g['booting']) {
    mwexec("$rrdtool update $rrddbpath$ifname$cputemp N:U:U:U:U:U");
    }

    /* the CPU Temperature gathering function */
    $rrdupdatesh .= "CPUTEMP=$sysctl -n dev.cpu.0.temperature dev.cpu.1.temperature dev.cpu.2.temperature dev.cpu.3.temperature | "; $rrdupdatesh .= " $awk '{getline cpu0temp;getline cpu1temp;getline cpu2temp;getline cpu3temp;printf "; $rrdupdatesh .= "((((cpu0temp*100)/100)+33)\":\"(((cpu1temp*100)/100)+33)\":\"(((cpu2temp*100)/100)+33)\":\"(((cpu3temp*100)/100)+33))}'\n";
    $rrdupdatesh .= "$rrdtool update $rrddbpath$ifname$cputemp N:${CPUTEMP}\n";

    /* end CPU Temp gathering */

    Save the file

    This will log data from dev.cpu.x.temperature every minute into system-temperature.rrd
      (my first play with RRD. I have no idea what is not right in here but it works)

    3. Make a backup of /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph_img.php 
      Copy /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph_img.php to your Windows box, edit it with Notepad++
      Add a section in here after the -memory data finishes on line 770

    $graphcmd .= "COMMENT:"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdate +\"%b %d %H\:%M\:%S %Y\"" ";
    }

    Save the file.

    Done, nearly.

    Check everything again. Look for any whitespaces, or blank spaces at the end of lines. This got me once. I'm not sure if it matters about TAB's or SPACE's at the start of lines. I don't think so.
    Copy these modified files back to the pfsense box with WinSCP.
    Open a terminal in Putty, or go to the console.
    Use option 11 to Restart the WebConfigurator and the changes will be made. Cross your fingers and hope that if you copied and pasted this stuff, I didn't screw it up pasting into the forum.

    The Graphs need someone to clean up the alignment of figures, possibly someone who actually knows what they are doing, but they will do for what I need right now.

    I'd really like to get accurate values from coretemp. It looks like coretemp in the windows world is updated, but I have been unable to find a newer coretemp.ko for 32bit FreeBSD 8.1.

    Cheers, Col.

    Hi, it's work fine, but how remove +33C gauge?

    Upd. Solved (I just removed +33)  :)
