+
This is what it currently monitors (most with zero configuration):
1. **CPU usage, interrupts, softirqs and frequency** (total and per core)
18. **Hardware sensors** (temperature, voltage, fans, power, humidity, etc)
19. **NUT UPSes** (load, charge, battery voltage, temperature, utility metrics, output metrics)
-You can also monitor any number of **SNMP devices**, although you will need to configure these.
+Any number of **SNMP devices** can be monitored, although you will need to configure these.
