Not sure of your install...
But we use a script on our supermicro servers to monitor sensors.
a cron.d script that checks every 15 minutes for temperature and fans.

see;
http://fsn.raqware.com/CBQ/server-fans.txt
and
http://fsn.raqware.com/CBQ/server-temperature.txt

You have to run sensors-detect to get sensors working.
Then install the cron.d scripts.
YMMV, but works for us on Supermicro servers.
