One of the most critical aspects of managing a Linux system, especially in environments involving physical servers or high-performance computing, is monitoring the CPU temperature. High temperatures can lead to reduced performance, hardware malfunctions, and system crashes. Thankfully, Linux provides a way to track the temperature through the file system. In this article, we'll explore how to read CPU temperature details via the /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp directory. Q&A: Reading CPU Temperature in Linux A1: In Linux, the /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp directory is part of the sysfs (System Filesystem) that exposes information and interfaces provided by the kernel.
