When working with lm_sensors and net-snmp lately, we found that the
default sensors.conf file does not include "temp" in the labels for all
chipset groups. Specifically, there are two chipset groups where it is
not in the label:
chip "lm85c-*" "adm1027-*" "adt7463-*" "lm85-*" "lm85b-*"
and
chip "adm1021-*" "adm1023-*" "max1617-*" "max1617a-*" "thmc10-*"
"lm84-*" "gl523sm-*" "mc1066-*"
The reason for the patch is that the net-snmp lm_sensors extension uses
the label name when determining what type of sensor it is reading, and
as a result, which OID to use as the parent. It uses "V" for volt,
"fan" or "Fan" for fans, and "temp" or "Temp" for temperature. All
other sensors get placed under the "misc" sensors category. Since these
sensors lack "temp" in their labels, they are erroneously placed in the
"misc" category.
Attached is a patch against CVS HEAD with the corrected names.
