More sensor

If you want to see the temperature of some sensor you can install the lm-sensor packet. For disk temperature you can instal the hddtemp packet.

Custom config

If you want do custom the monitorix config for more personnal information you can add a file in /etc/monitorix/conf.d/. This config file will be overwritte the original config in /etc/monitorix/monitorix.conf.

You will have a full complete documentation for monitorix config here : https://www.monitorix.org/documentation.html

By example you can extends the basic config by this :

priority = 5

In this config we have :

• We set the process priority to 5 (which mean that it will be lower priority than the other process).
• We get the lmsensor sensor data.
• We get some sensors data not accessible with lmsensor (with gensens)
• We check the disk health and send an email if any error happens. For that you need to make some script. An example is available in /usr/share/doc/monitorix/monitorix-alert.sh.
• We check the filesystem.
• We check the traffic in the network card.
• We check some process.
• We send every day, week, month and year a rapport.
