# Host Hardware Sensor Data Collection

If properly configured, HVM Hosts can display detailed hardware information on the HVM Hosts detail pages. This information includes system health LED state, CPU temperature, ambient temperature, fan speeds, power supply state, and more.

Configuration

In order to surface hardware sensor data into the UI, IPMI tool and it's dependency packages must be installed on each host. Following installation, the host agent must be restarted.

1. Install IPMI tool and its dependency packages (`freeipmi-common`, `ipmitool`, `libfreeipmi17`, `openipmi`)

   NOTE

   This tool can also be installed via apt package manager provided that the corresponding Ubuntu mirrors (main and universe module repos) are enabled. Run `sudo apt update` and then `sudo apt install ipmitool`.
2. To confirm installation, run `sudo ipmitool -v` and the installed version should be displayed
3. Restart the host agent with `sudo morpheus-node-ctl restart`
4. Repeat this process on all cluster hosts

Viewing Hardware Sensor Data

When properly configured, hardware sensor data may be viewed from the host detail page:

1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Clusters
2. Select the desired HVM cluster
3. Select the Health subtab
4. The hardware sensor states and hardware events are shown in the Sensors and Events subtabs
