      Support for sensors on newer Linux kernels was implemented in ZBX-282. According to https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/appendix/items/sensor, we should be able to construct proper arguments for the item if we look at the output of sensors -u. For instance:

      $ sensors -u | sed -n '10,16 p'
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:
  temp1_input: 35.000
  temp1_max: 85.000
  temp1_crit: 105.000
  temp1_crit_alarm: 0.000

      However, the following item does not work, even though documentation gives a similar example:

      $ sbin/zabbix_agentd -t 'sensor[coretemp-isa-0000,temp1]'
sensor[coretemp-isa-0000,temp1]               [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED] [Cannot obtain sensor information.]
