Configure lm-sensors
Ubuntu 10.04.1 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.

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.

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:
