NIC Temperature Monitoring?

[Sinister Pisces]

Hello,
Is there a supported way to read the temperature sensor on a NIC? On a Linux system, I'd use the sensors command, but that doesn't seem to be available via the plugins repo.
Am I missing something obvious?

ipmitool sensors

Thanks!
That doesn't seem to have worked, though. :(
% ipmitool sensors
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory

I don't think you can use ipmitool unless your board has a management controller i.e. a bmc
As to what to use instead, I don't know of a utility that will read those temps unless they're exposed by the vendor. Happy to be corrected though.

Is ipmitools in plugins? I can't find it

Seems it is replaced - or always was - by FreeIPMI:
