          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."
        method_description: |
          It 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.
