Configure lm-sensors
Ubuntu 10.04 includes lm-sensors 3.1.2 pre-installed. To verify your version of lm-sensors, run:
> sensors -v sensors version 3.1.2 with libsensors version 3.1.2
Lm-sensors needs to be configured using sensors-detect before it can be used. Sensors-detect is an interactive script for detecting hardware sensor chips. Run the following command, and then follow the on-screen instructions:
> sudo sensors-detect
Reboot your system, or use the following command to load the necessary kernel modules:
> sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start
To verify that lm-sensors is operating properly, use the sensors command. Example output is shown below.

Install and Configure Net-SNMP Packages
Ubuntu 10.04 does not have Net-SNMP pre-installed. To install basic Net-SNMP functionality, run the following:
> sudo apt-get install snmp > sudo apt-get install snmpd
Several other SNMP packages are available for Ubuntu. The Ubuntu Software Center (Applications > Ubuntu Software Center) is a good resource for determining which packages are currently installed (search for "snmp").
To test that the SNMP Daemon was successfully installed, run the following:
> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost system
General system information should be printed to the terminal window. An example is shown below.
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-29-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 11 19:15:25 UTC 2011 i686 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpAgentOIDs.10 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (1218) 0:00:12.18 SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: Root <root@localhost> (configure /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf) SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: ubuntu SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Unknown (configure /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf) SNMPv2-MIB::sysORLastChange.0 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00 ...
The SNMP Daemon requires additional setup. The snmpconf command is an interactive script for configuring Net-SNMP functionality (it can be used to generate snmp.conf and snmpd.conf). Run the following:
> sudo snmpconf -i -g basic_setup
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar Net-SNMP, it might be easier to create a simple snmpd.conf file manually. Using a text editor, create a file named "snmpd.conf". Add the following text:
rocommunity public
Copy the new snmpd.conf file to the correct path (In Ubuntu, the default paths for Net-SNMP applications are slightly different):
> sudo mv /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.old > sudo cp /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
Restart the SNMP daemon:
>sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd restart * Restarting network management services:
Use snmpwalk to test the lm-sensors MIB. The OID for the lm-sensors MIB is 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.16.
> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost lmSensors
> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.16

UPDATE: The Ubuntu 10.04 packages 'snmp' and 'snmpd' include Net-SNMP version 5.4.2.1. According to the lm-sensors installation page, Net-SNMP 5.5 or higher is required. All sensors appear within the "MiscSensors" category.
Install and Configure Net-SNMP Source
An excellent tutorial for installing Net-SNMP (from source) for Ubuntu is located here: Net-Snmp on Ubuntu
Specific details needed for lm-sensors are discussed below.
Download the latest Net-SNMP source package (v 5.6.1 was used for this tutorial), and unzip it.
Install the libperl-dev and libsensors4-dev packages for Ubuntu:
>sudo apt-get install libperl-dev >sudo apt-get install libsensors4-dev
Use the following commands to configure and install Net-SNMP:
>cd net-snmp-5.6.1/ >./configure --with-mib-modules="ucd-snmp/lmsensorsMib" --with-ldflags="-lsensors" >make >sudo make install

Configure the new SNMP daemon:
> sudo snmpconf -i -g basic_setup
Start the SNMP daemon:
> sudo snmpd -f -Le NET-SNMP version 5.6.1
In a new terminal window, run an snmpwalk on the lm-sensors MIB. Example output is provided:
