Digital optics monitoring sensors - cisco 2960S

Hi guys, I am successfully using observium in our network. Monitoring about 180 cisco switches. Thanks!
I am however missing graphs for optics SFP modules. I can see the sensors in snmpwalk:
ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName.1061 = STRING: TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1 ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName.1062 = STRING: Te1/0/1 Module Temperature
Sensor
ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName.1063 = STRING: Te1/0/1 Supply Voltage Sensor ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName.1064 = STRING: Te1/0/1 Bias Current Sensor ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName.1065 = STRING: Te1/0/1 Transmit Power Sensor ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName.1066 = STRING: Te1/0/1 Receive Power Sensor
And I can see the sensors listed in inventory page in observium. There are however no values or graphs on the health page.
Thank you for any tips.

Does show interface transceiver, output this kinda of data?

Are you running the latest version of IOS?
Likely they haven't bothered populating CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB.
Just because the sensor is mentioned in ENTITY-MIB doesn't mean they have a corresponding entry in the sensors mib!

I am using IOS Version 12.2(55r)SE
According to the MIB locator on cisco site: http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/MIBS/MainServlet?ReleaseSel=2836&PlatformSe...
CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB should be supported. However there is no record with this mib in snmpwalk :(
Is it possible I have to somehow turn it on in the switch configuration?

Nope. Welcome to Cisco being suck.

Yes, open tac case. They perfectly fine working on 3560 with same release for us but not on 2960S (15.0.SE2)

Yes
