Thermal Monitoring of device?

[thefunkygibbon]

Hi,

I've just replaced my fan on my Caswell CAF-0260 (smoothwall s2) as the existing one was very loud.  The paranoia in me is now concerned that it might not be cooling as well as the previous one was. 

Is there any way of monitoring the temperature on OPNsense?  is it hardware dependant? 
I've searched forums and reading that you can find the temps out by running

Code Select Expand

sysctl -a | grep temperature
or sysctl -a | grep thermal


but i don't see much in there
other than
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 0.1C
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 94.1C
(bit concerned about the latter one, but the number doesn't seem to change, so i'm guessing its not an accurate readout of the actual temps)

any advice?

Thanks in advance

Place the Thermal Sensors widget on your dashboard.
Go to System > Settings > Miscellaneous and try the different settings until you get a reading on the dashboard.

Ah brilliant. Changed to Intel (it's an atom cpu) and it tells me in the widget that all 4 cores are at around 42 degrees. Not too bad. Thank you.  I assume I can use monit to alert on this too?
