An information handling system includes a chassis, a filter, a force sensing resistor, and a baseboard management controller. The chassis includes a bezel. The filter is in physical communication with the bezel of the chassis. The force sensing resistor is in physical communication with the bezel and with the filter. The baseboard management controller communicates with the force sensing resistor and receives a voltage level from the force sensing resistor. Based on the voltage level, the baseboard management controller determines a clogged level for the filter. The baseboard management controller determines whether the clogged level is greater than a threshold level. In response to the clogged level being greater than the threshold level, the baseboard management controller determines that the filter needs to be replaced and provides a filter clogged message.
