It's a VM, how do you plan to access your physical hardware from a place that doesn't know it exists?

What HWM in Linux? What values do you get? I don't have any sensors or other physical hardware information from my VMs.

System monitor does work but that uses a very basic subset and does not include sensors. Excluding anything that requires a sensor you can find all kinds of different basic monitors, but that is outside the scope of this forum. You need to be asking the forum of the OS you are using.
