```

## SYNOPSIS

```
 hpisensor [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] [-t -r -s -X -h] [-E epath]

           [--threshold --range --eventstate --debug --help] [--entity-path="epath"]
```

## DESCRIPTION

hpisensor displays sensor info for all resources with Sensor Capability. Option -E (entity-path) restricts the output on the specified entity-path.
