Monitor CPU temperature on Redhat 7 Linux

How to monitor a CPU temperature on Redhat 7 Linux system

by

Here is a short config to show you how to display and monitor CPU temperature on a Linux system running Redhat 7 Linux. First we need to install lm_sensors:

# yum install lm_sensors

Next, use sensors command to display CPU temperature:

$ sensors | grep Core
Core 0:         +43.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +43.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

How to install, manage, start and autostart ssh service on RHEL 7 Linux

systemctl command is used on RedHat 7 linux to manage services system wide. It allows administrators to manage ssh service to start, restart, stop or enable autoload after system startup.

In install ssh service on your RHEL 7 linux run a following linux command:

# yum install openssh

By defalt SSH service or to be more precise sshd ( daemon ) is disabled. Once the opensshd package installed, you can check the status of SSHD service by using the below command:

# systemctl status sshd
sshd.service - OpenSSH server daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service; disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

To start ssh daemon (sshd) on RHEL 7 run:

systemctl start sshd

Configure network interface as DHCP client on RHEL7 Linux

by

In this config we are going to configure a network interface to receive an IP configuration settings from DHCP server. First get the name of the network interface you would like to set as DHCP client. To do this you can run command:

# ip addr show
2: enp0s3:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:00:27:15:38:b7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe15:38b7/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Once we have located a name of the network interface in question open a corresponding configuration file. So as an example, for network interface epn0s3 vi will edit a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3. Open this file and enter the minimum configuration settings in order to make this network interface act as a DHCP client:

DEVICE=enp0s3
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
