The use of an environmental sensing wireline standoff may improve operations during borehole logging procedures. An environmental sensing wireline standoff may comprise a lower body, an upper body, and a cable insert. The cable insert may further comprise a first segment and a second segment, wherein the cable insert is disposed between the lower body and the upper body, and wherein the cable insert is configurable to clamp directly onto a wireline cable. The environmental sensing wireline standoff may further comprise a sensor package. A method of assembling an environmental sensing wireline standoff may comprise securing a first segment of a cable insert into a lower body, securing a second segment of the cable insert into an upper body, attaching the sensor package to the upper body, and securing the lower body to the upper body.
