The fact you mention LDCM, implies that you're running windows of some
flavour. If this is the case then this may not be useful. But as you
say:

I'm using MRTG to monitor the environmental stats, (Mainly fan speeds &
mb / cpu temps), on some overclocked linux servers. Linux provides
support for system monitoring via lm_sensors and supports the
motherboards I've got - asus dual socket370, abit slot1 & gigabyte
slot1). lm_sensors is available as a kernel module in RH7.2 from kernel
2.4.9-13 on for sure, earlier than than this & you'll probably need to
compile your own kernel & lm_sensors support. At least this is what I
did.

Since I'm running MRTG on a different system I've used NET-SNMP's
(UCD-SNMP) ability to run a command by reading a MIB value.

Add the following to your snmpd.conf:

exec GETEMP1 /usr/local/sbin/getemp1

getemp1 is a one line shell script that returns a single value by
querying lm_sensors via /proc.

/bin/cat /proc/sys/dev/sensors/w83781d-isa-0290/temp1 |/bin/awk '{ print
$3 }' |/bin/sed s/'\.'//g

This value can then be retrieved using snmpget at the following OID:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.1

The next exec command in snmpd.conf can be got from

.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.2

and so-on

I'm also using this same method to collect data from the APC SmartUPS
powerchute.dat file on another linux server, (no I don't have the APC
SNMP hardware but this works almost as well - all I miss out is ambient
temp & humidity)
