ntplogtemp gathers temperature readings across a system. The standard user is ntpuser and should have permissions to execute lm_sensors and smartctl.
The default is to write the data to stdout once every 60 seconds. The log file looks like:
# time, sensor,
value
1485816568 ZONE0 39.0
1485816568 ZONE1 20.0
1485816568 ZONE2 42.0
1485816568 ZONE3 0.0
Time is the POSIX time of when the log line is written.
Sensor is the sensor the temperature reading was obtained from.
Value is the temperature reading in celsius.
−h, −−help
Displays usage information and exits.
−l LOGFILE, −−logfile LOGFILE

−o, −−once
Log the data once, then exit
−v, −−verbose

−w WAIT, −−wait WAIT
Wait WAIT seconds after each log line. The default is 60 seconds. The minimum wait time is 5 seconds.

ntplogtemp
This the simplest use of this program. It can be used to check the temperature readings of Zones, CPU, and disk drives every minute.
ntplogtemp −l /var/log/ntpstats/temperature −w 60 &
This will continuously log the temperature data in the background to the file /var/log/ntpstats/temperature. Only log every 60 seconds.
