Rock Pi 1.3 Node Exporter

#1

I decided that I wasted some more insight in what the rock pi is actually doing.

I have been running several docker container so I thought id also start the node_exporter, prometheus and grafana, which actually runs great.

There is only one metrics missing which is the cpu temperatures. I tested this stack on my laptop where they do show up. I guess it work there since the sensor is available. Only when executing sensors-detect on the rock pi it doesn’t detect.

Does anybody know how the node_exporter could start extracting the temperature?

I am not sure about the specifics of node_exporter but the data you are looking can be found in:

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

so setting node_exporter to read those would get you the data you are looking for.

I found a docker image which which exports the temperatures as a prometheus endpoint.
