34
+The `sensors` collector is disabled by default. To enable it, edit the `charts.d.conf` file using `edit-config` from the
35
+Netdata [config directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
36
+
37
+```bash
38
+cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
39
+sudo ./edit-config charts.d.conf
40
+```
41
+
42
+It also needs to be set to "force" to be enabled:
43
+
44
+```shell
45
+# example=force

+sensors=force
