    Monitor CPU temperature on Proxmox VE servers

    Hi there,

    I need to be able to monitor with Zabbix the CPU temperature of my Proxmox VE servers.
    With physical machines I can get the temperature by using the "lm-sensors" package and creating an item in Zabbix that collects the temperature value of each CPU core, but in Proxmox virtual machines the sensors are not detected.

    How can I monitor the CPU temperature of my Proxmox VE servers? It is very important for my company to monitor the CPU temperature of the Proxmox VE servers, due to all our services run on virtual machines.

    Thank you in advance.

    What's the use of trying to monitor temperature in virtual server? it will be virtual temperature, I suppose.. All VM-s will report the temp of the host where they run, I think... You still need to monitor that in those physical servers you are using to run your virtual environment.

      Yes, that's what I'm trying to do right now, I've already installed the lm-sensors package on the physical machines where the Proxmox VE servers are running.
      My problem now is that after installing the Zabbix agent on them and adding the hosts to the Zabbix server dashboard, it doesn't recognise the agent and they appear as 'Unknown'.
      The Zabbix server is running on a virtual machine with Ubuntu 20.04, and the Proxmox VE servers are running on physical machines with Debian 10.
      I have used the following commands to install the Zabbix repository depending on the operating system:

      - Ubuntu: wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.4/u...u20.04_all.deb
      - Debian: wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.4/d...bian10_all.deb

      This is the client agent configuration:

      This is the host configuration in the Zabbix server dashboard:

      Is it possible that the agent does not recognise me as I have installed repositories for different operating systems?

        You do not have any items/triggers installed. ZBX icon will not turn green, if you do not have at least one passive item there. So assign needed templates at first.
