Net-snmp sensors module relies upon linux's lm-sensors to provide its
information.

I'm betting if you type:

#sensors

you won't get any output.  
 
Looks like Dell broke it.

>Reason (no specs from manufacturer, really new hardware, etc): DELL
uses proprietary BIOS extensions that break lm-sensors 
 
>Functionality (from 0 to 100% of full functionality): 0% 
 
>lm87 hardware is on these motherboards, but wrapped up by some
proprietary DELL chips. One can apparently use some DELL provided
monitoring software to enable some access to the data via SNMP. 
 
You'd need to talk to the lm-sensors folks about it.  Their mailing list
is here:

http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FeedbackAndSupport

You'll want:

lm-sensors <at> lm-sensors <dot> org. 

If you are getting output from the 'sensors' command, then that's a
different issue and we'll have to talk it through.

hi bruce, 

well, actually, no 

i've been compiling net-snmp with this include line for some years now 
... but, until i tried it on a Sparc running Solaris a few weeks ago, 
had never seen LM-SENSORS-MIB entries in the output of a walk 

here's a sample linux box (Dell 2650 hardware, SuSE 9.3): 

panthro> uname -a 
Linux panthro 2.6.11.4-21.9-smp #1 SMP Fri Aug 19 11:58:59 UTC 2005 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 
panthro> rpm -q sensors 
sensors-2.9.0-3 
panthro> 

here's my configure line: 

./configure --prefix=/opt/vdops 
--with-mibdirs="/opt/vdops/share/snmp/mibs" 
--with-persistent-directory="/opt/vdops/var/snmp" 
--with-sys-contact=root --with-sys 
-location=J4-300 --with-logfile="/opt/vdops/var/log/net-snmp" 
--with-default-snmp-version="2" --with-out-transports="TCP" 
--with-perl-modules --with-mib-modules="ucd-snmp/diskio
ucd-snmp/lmSensors" 

after ./configure finishes running, i see:
