System Sensor Monitoring

+

The Phoronix Test Suite supports monitoring system sensors to look at trends +and provide other benefits. The Phoronix Test Suite will automatically monitor +the selected sensors while each test is running and at the end will then provide +the low and high thresholds for each sensor as well as the average. In addition, +the sensor results are then plotted on line graphs and can be viewed through the +PTS Results Viewer. This sensor detection and monitoring is done through LM_Sensors +and ACPI interfaces. The GPU sensor monitoring is done through proprietary ATI +and NVIDIA extensions.

+

The Phoronix Test Suite is capable of measuring the GPU temperature, CPU temperature, +system temperature, battery power consumption, CPU voltage, +3.33V line voltage, ++5.00V line voltage, and +12.00V line voltage. Additional sensors will be supported +in the future.

+

The full list of supported sensor options can be found by running phoronix-test-suite +sensor-options. The sensors actually detected on the current system and their +values can be read by running phoronix-test-suite sensors. Selecting +sensors to monitor is performed through the MONITOR environmental variable. +As examples, to monitor just the CPU temperature while running the universe suite, +one would run MONITOR=cpu.temp phoronix-test-suite benchmark universe. +To monitor all sensors while running the Nexuiz game, one would run MONITOR=all +phoronix-test-suite benchmark nexuiz. To monitor the temperature and voltage +of the CPU, run MONITOR=cpu.temp,cpu.voltage phoronix-test-suite benchmark +universe. This feature works no matter the suite or test being run.

+

ACPI will automatically be used if it's supported on the system and LM_Sensors +will be used if it has previously been installed and configured (by running sensors-detect +as root).

+

Once the test(s) are completed, the sensor statistics are printed to the standard +output and the user is prompted to view the results with the PTS Results Viewer +in their web browser. The sensor graphs are saved to their default location of +~/.phoronix-test-suite/system-monitor/. At this time, sensor results +are not uploadable to PTS Global.
