How do I monitor current operating temperature of my Sonicwall TZ370

This information appears to be a closely guarded secret. Simply want to know the current operating temperature of my Sonicwall. There is some oblique reference to this in the logs in a KB article but no description of how to locate the current temperature. I have searched the community and the KBs and even asked ChatGPT. No one seems to know or care about this critical piece of system health.

    Thanks. Maybe I should consider a different device going forward. It seems like a very trivial feature to include.

    @andyoeft IMHO there is no way to determine the temperature, which is not really good thing, because they tend to get pretty warm, especially in overcrowded cabinets.

    Would an overheating Sonicwall impact network performance? I gotta imagine it would.

    Can't tell what the impact is, in general it's reduced lifetime but maybe it's throttling too.

    I had some pretty warm TZs in the field but functionality wasn't ever disturbed, temperature-wise.
