Configuration

Configuration options · from collectd.conf(5)

See this section in the full configuration reference

ForceUseProcfs true|false
By default, the Thermal plugin tries to read the statistics from the Linux sysfs interface. If that is not available, the plugin falls back to the procfs interface. By setting this option to true, you can force the plugin to use the latter. This option defaults to false.
Device Device

Selects the name of the thermal device that you want to collect or ignore, depending on the value of the IgnoreSelected option. This option may be used multiple times to specify a list of devices.

See /"IGNORELISTS" for details.

IgnoreSelected true|false
Invert the selection: If set to true, all devices except the ones that match the device names specified by the Device option are collected. By default only selected devices are collected if a selection is made. If no selection is configured at all, all devices are selected.
