Proposal

if the metrics info has sensors data like below ,that would be perfect. Thanks!

coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +48.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +43.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +43.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +43.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 3: +43.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

nvme-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +52.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +82.8°C) (crit = +84.8°C)

Research direction
Review Vector's existing host metrics component at src/sources/host metrics/ to understand how CPU, memory, and disk metrics are collected. Investigate Rust sensor libraries like `sensors` (sysfs) or `lm sensors` bindings. The issue proposes adding temperature data similar to `sensors` command output. Look at the `sensors` crate or implement direct sysfs reading. Integrate into the existing metrics collection loop, ensuring proper labeling and unit conversion.
