# sensors Input Plugin

Collect [lm-sensors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lm_sensors) metrics - requires the lm-sensors
package installed.

This plugin collects sensor metrics with the `sensors` executable from the lm-sensor package.

### Configuration:
```
# Monitor sensors, requires lm-sensors package
[[inputs.sensors]]
  ## Remove numbers from field names.
  ## If true, a field name like 'temp1_input' will be changed to 'temp_input'.
  # remove_numbers = true
```

### Measurements & Fields:
Fields are created dynamicaly depending on the sensors. All fields are float.

### Tags:

- All measurements have the following tags:
    - chip
    - feature

### Example Output:

#### Default
```
$ telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter sensors --test
