-# Linux machine sensors collector
-
-Use this collector when `lm-sensors` doesn't work on your device (e.g. for RPi temperatures).
-For all other cases use the [Python collector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/sensors), which supports multiple
-jobs, is more efficient and performs calculations on top of the kernel provided values.
-
-This plugin will provide charts for all configured system sensors, by reading sensors directly from the kernel.
-The values graphed are the raw hardware values of the sensors.
-
-The plugin will create Netdata charts for:
-
-1. **Temperature**
-2. **Voltage**
-3. **Current**
-4. **Power**
-5. **Fans Speed**
-6. **Energy**
-7. **Humidity**
-
-One chart for every sensor chip found and each of the above will be created.
-
-## Enable the collector
-
-If using [our official native DEB/RPM packages](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/packages.md), make sure `netdata-plugin-chartsd` is installed.
-
-The `sensors` collector is disabled by default.
-
-To enable the collector, you need to edit the configuration file of `charts.d/sensors.conf`. You can do so by using the `edit config` script.
-
-> ### Info
->
-> To edit configuration files in a safe way, we provide the [`edit config` script](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#use-edit-config-to-edit-configuration-files) located in your [Netdata config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory) (typically is `/etc/netdata`) that creates the proper file and opens it in an editor automatically.
-> It is recommended to use this way for configuring Netdata.
->
-> Please also note that after most configuration changes you will need to [restart the Agent](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for the changes to take effect.
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
-sudo ./edit-config charts.d.conf
-```
-
-You need to uncomment the regarding `sensors`, and set the value to `force`.
-
-```shell
-# example=force
-sensors=force
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Edit the `charts.d/sensors.conf` configuration file using `edit-config`:
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
-sudo ./edit-config charts.d/sensors.conf
-```
-
-This is the internal default for `charts.d/sensors.conf`
-
-```sh
-# the directory the kernel keeps sensor data
-sensors_sys_dir="${NETDATA_HOST_PREFIX}/sys/devices"
-
-# how deep in the tree to check for sensor data
-sensors_sys_depth=10
-
-# if set to 1, the script will overwrite internal
-# script functions with code generated ones
-# leave to 1, is faster
-sensors_source_update=1
-
-# how frequently to collect sensor data
-# the default is to collect it at every iteration of charts.d
-sensors_update_every=
-
-# array of sensors which are excluded
-# the default is to include all
-sensors_excluded=()
-```
