HOWTO: Temperature Monitoring with coretemp in Sysinfo widget
-
The amdtemp module supports AMD K8 microarchitecture or newer. The Athlon XP is K7.
To get the temperature of earlier CPUs you could try using mbmon. You will have to do some coding to make it work with this widget though.

Thanks! This is great and should be included in the default install IMO!!
Again, Thanks alot!

Hello,
I tried applying the patch that is located in the main post. I downloaded the package system patch and have tried it via command line with the same result. When I test the patch I get errors saying it cant be applied cleanly. Is this due to showp1984 stuff? should it be removed? not that experienced with troubleshooting patches..Output of full patch apply test:
/usr/bin/patch –directory=/ -t -p4 -i /var/patches/50be92a047646.patch --check --forward
Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me...

I haven't actually tried this but looking at the patch file it's obviously been built against two files on the OPs desktop machine.
Since this is a relatively minor change to only two files I suggest you simply edit the two files manually.

Stephen,
I was able to do the manual edits prior to posting. I was just wondering why the patch wasn't working. It would have just saved me some time editing that's all. Thought maybe i was doing something wrong with the patch.btw thanks to the OP for working on this. I do appreciate it. Now if i could just get this info on LCDProc everything would be golden. :-D

For some reason i can't get coretemp to automatically load upon reboot. I can ssh over and run kldload coretemp and i am up and running. I did edit the loader.conf.local and added coretemp_load="yes". The module is in /boot/modules as well.
Am I missing something else to enable pfsense to load this on boot if i have to reboot the firewall?
-
File permissions perhaps?
Looks like you're doing everything correctly.Steve

What would i be looking for in relation to file permission? is there a way to test (fake boot process) to see if it would give me an error and why it wouldnt load?
-
should i add the line to loader.conf? or would that be bad? Wasnt sure if the .local may not be utilized for some reason? just thinking out loud.

/boot/loader.conf may change on reinstall; /boot/loader.conf.local is guaranteed to remain untouched by a reinstall.
You might see an error report on coretemp during the early boot (before the kernel is started).

Worked just fine on my Jetway MB with pfSense 2.0.2
coretemp.ko was already in /boot/kernel folder
Edited all files manually
-
will this work for 2.1 to?
-
I have it working on most recent version. Just do the edits manually.
-
I have it working on my Soekris 6501-50 with atom E6xx proc. and i386 pfSense 2.1.
It shows the temp for 2 cores (hyper threading).
I have manually edited both .php files
Works great. -
cool.
thx
-
Thanks again.
did get som errrors at first i missed some stuff. and some rows didnt match.
you had some line more then me. but wasnt any biggie. -
Works perfectly in release 2.0.3, which already has included coretemp modules! Only the PHP files need to be modified.
I suggest to pull these in for everybody, by default in the installation media.
-
The coretemp modules and a dashboard temperature reading is included by default in 2.1. I don't think it is graphed though.

OK thanks, didn't know that, I'm just upgrading to 2.0.3…

If anyone wants to graph these temperatures in Munin, using the munin-node on pfSense based on this, here's a plugin for that:
#!/bin/sh # Plugin to monitor Jetway motherboard CPU temperatures on pfSense controller runtime data.
