.Sh NAME
.Nm sensorsd.conf
.Nd configuration file for sensorsd
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm sensorsd.conf
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file is read by
.Xr sensorsd 8
to configure hardware sensor monitoring.
Each entry represents one sensor and may specify high and low limits.
If the limits are crossed,
.Xr sensorsd 8 's
alert functionality is triggered and a command, if specified, is
executed.
.Pp
.Nm
follows the syntax of configuration databases as documented in
.Xr getcap 3 .
The following attributes may be used:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width "commandXX" -offset indent -compact
.It Li command
Specify a command to be executed if limits are crossed.
.It Li high
Specify an upper limit.
.It Li low
Specify a lower limit.
.El
.Pp
The values for temperature sensors can be given in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit, for voltage sensors in volts, and fan speed sensors take a
unit-less number representing RPM.
.Pp
The command is executed on transitions out of, and back into, given limits.
Tokens in the command are substituted as follows:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
.It %1
the sensor number
.It %2
the sensor's current value
.It %3
the sensor's low limit
.It %4
the sensor's high limit
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width "/etc/sensorsd.conf"
.It /etc/sensorsd.conf
Configuration file for
.Xr sensorsd 8 .
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
In the following configuration file,
if hw.sensors.0 goes above 80C, the command
.Pa /etc/sensorsd/log_warning
will be executed,
with the sensor number and current value passed to it.
Alerts will be sent if hw.sensor.1 goes above 170F;
if hw.sensors.2 goes below 4.8V or above 5.2V;
and if the speed of the fan attached to hw.sensors.3
goes below 1000RPM or above 8000RPM.
