          Use this collector when `lm-sensors` doesn't work on your device (e.g. for RPi temperatures).
          For all other cases use the [Python collector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/sensors), which supports multiple jobs, is more efficient and performs calculations on top of the kernel provided values."
        method_description: |
          It will provide charts for all configured system sensors, by reading sensors directly from the kernel.
          The values graphed are the raw hardware values of the sensors.

              If [using our official native DEB/RPM packages](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/UPDATE.md#determine-which-installation-method-you-used), make sure `netdata-plugin-chartsd` is installed.
          - title: "Enable the sensors collector"
            description: |
              The `sensors` collector is disabled by default. To enable it, use `edit-config` from the Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`, to edit the `charts.d.conf` file.

              ```bash
              cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
              sudo ./edit-config charts.d.conf
              ```

              Change the value of the `sensors` setting to `force` and uncomment the line. Save the file and restart the Netdata Agent with `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the [appropriate method](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for your system.
