1. Introduction

-
-

Psensor is a graphical hardware monitoring application for Linux.

-

It draws realtime charts and raises alerts about:

-
    -
  • -

    -the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using - lm-sensors). -

    -
    • -
  • -

    -the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl). -

    -
    • -
  • -

    -the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart). -

    -
    • -
  • -

    -the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors). -

    -
    • -
  • -

    -the temperature of a remote computer. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    -the cpu load. -

    -
    • -
-

Alerts are using Desktop Notification and a specific GTK+ status icon.

-

For Ubuntu users, Psensor is providing an Application Indicator which turns -red under alert and a menu for quickly check all sensors.

-

It is possible to monitor remotely a computer:

-
    -
  • -

    -start psensor-server on the remote computer. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    -start psensor using: psensor --url=http://hostname:3131. -

    -
    • -
-

psensor-server is a minimal Web server, a Web browser can be used to -monitor the remote computer by opening the URL: -http://hostname:3131.

-
- - - -
-
Warning
-		psensor-server does not provide any way to restrict the connection -to the HTTP server, worst, no effort has been made against malicious -HTTP attacks. You should make the psensor-server port available -only to a network or computer you trust by using the usual network -security tools of the system (for example: -iptables).
-

-
-

3.2. Compilation and Installation Steps

-
    -
  1. -

    -download the source archive from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files -

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    -Extract files from the source archive -

    -
    3. -
  3. -

    -Compilation: ./configure;make clean all -

    -
    4. -
  4. -

    -Installation: make install (require to have root permission) -

    -
    5. -
  5. -

    -Start the sensor detection script: sensors-detect and follows the -instructions. Reboot or activate the kernel modules which have -been found. -

    -
    6. -
  6. -

    -To monitor HDDs, the hddtemp daemon must be installed and running. -

    -
    7. -
  7. -

    -Run: psensor -

    -
    8. -
-
-
-

3.3. ATI/AMD GPU Support

-

When the OpenSource ATI driver is used, the monitoring -information is available throw lm-sensors and does not require the -following instructions.

-

When the proprietary ATI driver(Catalyst) is used, the build is -requiring an additional library.

-

Download the -ATI ADL SDK -and extracts the files of the archive into a directory [dir].

-

Replace the step 3. of the above section by ./configure ---with-libatiadl=[dir] where [dir] must be the directory where you -have extracted the ATI ADL SDK. Other steps are indentical.
