To enable it, use `edit-config` from the Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`, to edit the `charts.d.conf` file. - -```bash -cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different -sudo ./edit-config charts.d.conf -``` - -Change the value of the `sensors` setting to `force` and uncomment the line.
