Hello, I'm attempting to scrape CPU temps, NVME temps, and fan speeds from the Minisforum MS-01 using Debian CLI which I can forward to some monitoring tool. One of my two hosts has an elevated fan speed for reasons I have not determined yet. Currently the latest install of Proxmox is installed on both systems (ver 8.1.10). Both hosts are identical hardware and software configuration. Hardware is Intel® Core™ i9-13900H. My ultimate goal is to possibly adjust the BIOS fan thresholds so the fans kick on at a more reasonable point, if this makes sense given the workload. First I need to be able to monitor it though. Additional detail: there is no load on either system, just the base install of Proxmox VE, which is why I find it odd that one system fan has spooled up.

I attempted to install package "lm-sensors". When I run the command "sensors" I get the following output which seems incomplete or partial:
Code:

Is lm-sensors the best tool for this approach? I notice when I install/run "btop" it's correctly monitoring the CPU temperatures. If lm-sensors is the right tool, what is the best approach for updating the configuration file /etc/sensors3.conf to work with the MS-01?

Any thoughts or help appreciated, thanks!
