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 ATI GPUs (using ATI ADL SDK).
* the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp, libatasmart
or udisks2).
* the rotation speed of the fans.
* 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:
http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/index.html[iptables]).
Installation Using Distribution Packages
----------------------------------------
Debian
~~~~~~
For Debian, the binary and source packages are available in the
Wheezy, unstable and testing repositories.
Debian package information is available at:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html.
To do the installation:
--------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install psensor psensor-server
--------------------------------------------
Ubuntu
~~~~~~
Since Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), psensor is available in the universe
repository of Ubuntu.
To install +psensor+ or +psensor-server+:
------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install psensor
sudo apt-get install psensor-server
------------------------------------
Or search them in the Ubuntu Software Center.
Installation From Source Archive
--------------------------------
+psensor+ and +psensor-server+ can be compiled and installed on any
modern GNU/Linux distribution.
Compilation Prerequisites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The compilation of +psensor+ requires:
* make
* gcc (or llvm)
* lm-sensors
* library sensors4
* library gtk3 >=3.4
* help2man (optional, required to produce the manpage)
* asciidoctor (optional, required to produce the html version of the
faq)
* cppcheck (optional, static source checker)
* library libnotify (optional)
* library libappindicator >= 3.0 (optional)
* library libXNVCtrl (optional)
* library json-c >= 0.11.99 and curl (optional, required for remote monitoring)
* library unity (>=v3.4.2, optional)
* library gtop2 (optional, required for CPU usage)
* library atasmart (optional, for disk monitoring)
* library udisk2 (optional, for disk monitoring)
The specific requirements for +psensor-server+:
* library libmicrohttpd
* library json-c >= 0.11.99
Compilation and Installation Steps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. download the source archive from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files
2. Extract files from the source archive
3. Compilation: +./configure;make clean all+
4. Installation: +make install+ (require to have root permission)
5. Start the sensor detection script: +sensors-detect+ and follows the
instructions. Reboot or activate the kernel modules which have
been found.
6. Run: +psensor+
ATI/AMD GPU Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the OpenSource ATI driver is used, the monitoring
information is available through 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
http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK/Pages/default.aspx[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.
