[mrtg] Re: Monitoring temperature on a RedHat 7.0 machine with an ASUS K7V motherboard

[Steve Yingst (LMF Staff)]

I'm not sure if anyone has created it yet but there is some kind of standard
out there on how motherboards report that information, such as cpu temp, fan
rotation speed, core voltages and all that good stuff.  There are utilities
out there for Win9x that will get that from most newer motherboards.  If
someone with some programming knowledge and a lot of time on there hands
made a program up to grab those variables it would be a nice addition to the
contrib directory.  Nothing like a 5 minute graph of my cpu fan rotation
speed. :)

The bios is reporting the temperature, but the point here is that you need
an "agent" to catch the SNMP requests. This agent have to "translate" your
request into a physical query to the mobo, and returns your answer. (of
course, there could be two agents: Physical(mobo)->OS and OS->SNMP).

If you don't have such an agent, how could your OS know the board
temperature ?
So maybe you should check this on Asus website ?

Hope you understand my words !
