lm_sensors (Linux-monitoring sensors), is a free open source software-tool for Linux that provides tools and drivers for monitoring temperatures, voltage, humidity, and fans. It can also detect chassis intrusions.

decode-dimms.pl decodes and prints information on any RAM memory module with SPD information in the computer.

The lm-sensors package contains a daemon called sensord which supports RRD, and a library called libsensors with an API. GKrellM, KSensors, xsensors, and Net-SNMP make use of lm-sensors.

In 2013, the sensors-detect command of lm-sensors began disrupting the gamma correction settings of some laptop display screens. This occurs while it is probing the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. Probing of these devices was disabled by default.[2][3][4][5]
