Monitor OpenWrt System Temperature and CPU usage menu in Terminal & LUCI

SOURCE: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/temperature-and-cpu-usage-menu-in-openwrt/171301

Installing these openwrt packages instead may better meet your needs.

opkg update
opkg install luci-app-statistics collectd-mod-thermal htop

I find an historical trend of CPU usage and temperature to be more useful than a single snapshot in time on an overview menu. It is also possible to configure the rate at which data is saved for trend plotting with luci-app-statistics. As I recall, the default is every 30 seconds. I prefer every 10 seconds myself.

Running htop in a terminal window is also quite useful for monitoring real time CPU usage during load testing.
