29.Dt ENVSYS.CONF 5
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm envsys.conf
33.Nd Configuration file for the envsys framework
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm envstat
36.Op Fl S
37.Op Fl c Ar /etc/envsys.conf
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41file configures all the features provided by the
42.Xr envsys 4
43framework.
44It consists of a series of device and sensor blocks .
45Each sensor block defines a group of
46.Em properties .
47The file format is free-form: new line markers and indentation are
48ignored.
49Comments start with a
50.Sq #
51sign and extend until the end of line.
52.Pp
53A
54.Em property
55is like a variable assignment.
56It has a name, which goes to the left of the equal sign, and a value,
57which goes to the right.
58The assignment ends with a semicolon.
59It looks like:
60.Pp
61.Dl name = value;
62.Pp
63There is no difference between string or integer values when defining them.
64The value must be surrounded by double quotes if it contains whitespace.
65.Pp
66There can be multiple groups of devices and multiple groups of sensors
67in the configuration file.
68.Pp
69A device block consists of one or more sensor blocks and one or more global
70properties. It has the following syntax:
71.Bd -literal -offset indent
72	device_name {
73		prop = value;
74		...
75        	sensor0 {
76			prop = value;
77        		...
78		}
79		...
80		sensorN {
81			prop = value;
82			...
83		}
84	}
85	...
86.Ed
87.Pp
88Device names are those shown by the
89.Ql envstat -D
90command; sensor blocks are named by the index position in which they are shown.
91.Pp
92For example, if we have the following output from the
93.Xr envstat 8
94command:
95.Bd -literal -offset indent
96  CPU Temperature:     32.000 degC
97   MB Temperature:     37.000 degC
98    Vcore Voltage:      1.232 V
99     +3.3 Voltage:      3.248 V
100       +5 Voltage:      4.992 V
101      +12 Voltage:     11.985 V
102    CPU FAN Speed:       1250 RPM
103.Ed
104.Pp
105.Ql sensor0
106corresponds to the
107.Em CPU Temperature
108sensor and
109.Ql sensor6
110corresponds to the
111.Em CPU FAN Speed
112sensor.
113.Pp
114There is another way that will give you the correct index
115sensor; the
116.Ql envstat -x
117command will print the raw XML property list.
118You only have to find the
119.Em index
120object in the appropriate dictionary.
121The object will be shown as:
122.Bd -literal -offset indent
123	\*[Lt]key\*[Gt]index\*[Lt]/key\*[Gt]
124	\*[Lt]string\*[Gt]sensor2\*[Lt]/string\*[Gt]
125.Ed
126.Pp
127Invalid sensors and devices will be detected by the
128.Xr envstat 8
129parser and will be reported as errors.
130.Pp
131The following properties are provided for sensor blocks (please note that
132not all properties apply to all type of sensors):
133.Bl -tag -width ident
134.It critical-capacity = 10;
135.Pp
136Sets a critical capacity limit property of 10
137percent in a battery sensor.
138Battery sensors are those that report a percentage from the
139.Xr envstat 8
140output.
141.Pp
142It is possible to find out if the sensor accepts this property
143by running
144.Ql envstat -x
145and looking if the
146.Em want-percentage
147object is defined as
148.Em true
149on its dictionary.
150For example:
151.Bd -literal -offset indent
152	\*[Lt]key\*[Gt]want-percentage\*[Lt]/key\*[Gt]
153	\*[Lt]true/\*[Gt]
154.Ed
155.Pp
156Only a value between 0 and 100 is allowed.
157When the limit is reached in the sensor, a
158.Em user-capacity
159event will be sent to the
160.Xr powerd 8
161daemon (if running) and will execute the block for this event in
162.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_battery .
163.It critical-max = 70C;
164.Pp
165Sets a critical max limit property in a sensor.
166Note that in this example, we are specifying the
167.Ql C
168keyword at the end; that means that this will only be valid for
169.Em temperature
170sensors and that the value is specified as degrees
171.Em Celsius .
172If degrees Fahrenheit are wanted, just change use the letter
173.Em F ,
174like:
175.Bd -literal -offset indent
176critical-max = 140F;
177.Ed
178.Pp
179To know sensor type, you have to look at the
180.Em type
181object in the XML property list.
182Remember: the XML property list has
183all the information that the application uses to print the values!
184.Pp
185Other sensors that are not of
186.Em temperature
187type must not include the final character for the unit.
188A dot is allowed in the value, if it corresponds to the
189range that the sensor is reporting.
190When the limit has been reached in the sensor, a
191.Em critical-over
192event will be sent to the
193.Xr powerd 8
194daemon (if running) and will execute the block for this event in
195the appropriate
196.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_foo
197script (depending on the sensor's type).
198.Pp
199Please note that this property cannot be set in battery sensors
200(those that have the
201.Em want-percentage
202object in their dictionary).
203This rule applies for the
204.Ql critical-min
205property too.
206.It critical-min = 1.230;
207.Pp
208Sets a critical min limit property in a sensor.
209The rules for
210.Em critical-max
211and
212.Em critical-min
213are the same.
214When the limit has been reached in the sensor, a
215.Em critical-under
216event will be sent to the
217.Xr powerd 8
218daemon (if running) and will execute the block for this event in
219the appropriate
220.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_foo
221script (depending on the sensor's type).
222.It description = string
223.Pp
224Sets a new description in a sensor.
225You can set this property in
226all sensors, except that you won't be able to set a description
227that is currently used for the specified device.
228.It rfact = 56000
229.Pp
230Sets a new resistor factor property in a sensor.
231This property is only allowed in
232.Em Voltage
233sensors and
234.Em only
235if the driver has enabled the appropriate flag for the mentioned
236sensor.
237The resistor factor may be used to change the behavior
238of the value returned by the driver.
239.Pp
240If a sensor supports this, the
241.Em allow-rfact
242object appears enabled (true) in the dictionary.
243.El
244.Pp
245The following properties are available for device blocks:
246.Bl -tag -width ident
247.It refresh-timeout = 10s
248.Pp
249This property sets the refresh timeout value in a driver, and will be used
250to refresh data and check for critical conditions any time the timeout
251is met. The value may be specified in seconds, minutes or hours. To specify
252the value in seconds, the
253.Em s
254character must be appended last, if minutes is desired, a
255.Em m
256and a
257.Em h
258for hours. For example
259.Em 10s
260for 10 seconds or
261.Em 1h
262for one hour.
