Cannot set warning/critical temperature for a specific sensor

[FrancoisMentec]

The following config file does not work:

[sensors]
temperature_core_Tctl_warning=40
temperature_core_Tctl_critical=95

API:

[
  {
    "label": "Composite",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 49,
    "warning": 83,
    "critical": 87,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Sensor 1",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 70,
    "warning": 65261,
    "critical": 65261,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Sensor 2",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 43,
    "warning": 65261,
    "critical": 65261,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Tccd1",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 55,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Tctl",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 68,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "edge",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 52,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "mt7921_phy0 0",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 40,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  }
]

As you can see warning and critical are null for Tctl.

The following config file does work:

[sensors]
temperature_core_warning=40
temperature_core_critical=95

Temps are now displayed in purple in the web interface when above 40°C, but the API still doesn't provide the temperature thresholds:

[
  {
    "label": "Composite",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 47,
    "warning": 83,
    "critical": 87,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Sensor 1",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 68,
    "warning": 65261,
    "critical": 65261,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Sensor 2",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 41,
    "warning": 65261,
    "critical": 65261,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Tccd1",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 46,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "Tctl",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 55,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "edge",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 47,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  },
  {
    "label": "mt7921_phy0 0",
    "unit": "C",
    "value": 38,
    "warning": null,
    "critical": null,
    "type": "temperature_core",
    "key": "label"
  }
]

I want to set the warning an critical temperature returned by the API for the Tctl sensor and ideally only it. I tried many syntax (temperature_Tctl_warning, temperature_tctl_warning, temperature_core_tctl_warning, ...) in the config file, but so far no luck. The documentation has not been helpful either: https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aoa/sensors.html

My glances version:

root@homelab:~/.config/glances# glances --version
Glances version:        4.3.0.8
Glances API version:    4
PsUtil version:         6.1.1
Log file:               /root/.local/share/glances/glances.log

Running on Debian 12 in a proxmox host.

Please send help :-(

Hi @FrancoisMentec thanks for the issue report.

Also reproduced on my side:

[sensors]
disable=False
# Sensors core thresholds (in Celsius...)
# By default values are grabbed from the system
# Overwrite thresholds for a specific sensor
temperature_core_Ambient_careful=45
temperature_core_Ambient_warning=65
temperature_core_Ambient_critical=80

Note for investigation:

• tested without success with temperature_core_ambient_careful (replace Ambient with ambient)
• have a look on 'type': <SensorType.CPU_TEMP: 'temperature_core'>...
