Is it possible to get the temperature when usuing a docker agent, on a RP5?

[m1ntyduck]

I have everything working, I have 4 bay RP5 with 4x1tb ssds and would like to collect the temperature / storage metrics.
Is it possible?

Yes - use the unified agent with --enable-docker. It enables both host monitoring (which collects temperature and disk metrics) and Docker monitoring.

curl -fsSL http://<pulse-url>:7655/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-url>:7655 --token <token> --enable-docker

Temperature collection requires lm-sensors to be installed on the host. On Raspberry Pi OS:

sudo apt install lm-sensors

The unified agent reads from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp as a fallback if lm-sensors isn't available, which should work on RPi5.

I get this on my rpi5
