# Linux machine sensors monitoring with Netdata
> THIS MODULE IS OBSOLETE.
> USE [THE PYTHON ONE](/collectors/python.d.plugin/sensors) - IT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE JOBS AND IT IS MORE EFFICIENT
>
> Unlike the python one, this module can collect temperature on RPi.
The plugin will provide charts for all configured system sensors
> This plugin is reading sensors directly from the kernel.
> The `lm-sensors` package is able to perform calculations on the
> kernel provided values, this plugin will not perform.
> So, 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
The `sensors` collector is disabled by default. To enable it, edit the `charts.d.conf` file using `edit-config` from the
Netdata [config directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
```bash
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config charts.d.conf
```
It also needs to be set to "force" to be enabled:
```shell
# example=force
sensors=force
```
## Configuration
Edit the `charts.d/sensors.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the
Netdata [config directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
```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=()
```
