When I ssh in to my FreePBX VM and list running services with systemctl, I see that the lm_sensors.service failed.
My VM is a stock FreePBX image from FreePBXHosting.
Does anyone know what this failure is about? Should this service even be started? If so, why is it failing?
lm_sensors is unlikely to work in a VM as it is pointed at hardware things which you don’t have, I would disable it.
Thanks for the super fast response, @dicko! That’s what I was thinking. I can disable it, but it sure seems like it should be disabled by default in the FreePBX VM.
Do you know where to make that suggestion or open a ticket for that?
It makes perfect sense in a physical machine. But conditionally working out whether you are virtual or physical is not so easy (because it’s virtual)
There is nothing to work out for the VM’s that Sangoma/FreePBXHosting provision themselves for new customers (like me). 100% of the time, it’s going to be a VM.
They do have options where the image can be run on dedicated HW, but in those cases, 100% of the time it will be real iron.
They obviously have a provisioning script that sets and tweaks a number of items to get a VM running right when a new one is ordered.
I’m hoping someone knows where that script lives and how a customer might be able to suggest an improvement to that configuration script. 
That would be obviously one for Sangoma/FreePBXHosting. They are the only ones in control.
