[mrtg] Re: OT: Data Center Environment Monitoring

[Hart, Kevin]

I use a product from Itwatchdogs called the Weatherduck ($179.US)which is a
serial port device and
runs on NT, W2K and LINUX. http:\\www.itwatchdogs.com. 

The device has internal sensors for temperature, humidity, airflow and
light. There is also an RJ-11 port for connecting 1-WIRE sensors, which
allow you to extend the
reach to other cabinets or closets.

The device software installs a MIB extension for the four internal sensors
on the system which it is attached to, which makes it easy to use with MRTG.

The software has a Web Interface with remotely accessible graphs, Web Cam
Viewer and an Alarm page which 
can send E-mail notifications based on thresholds which you set.

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Just wondering what some of you out there might be using to monitor
temp, humidity etc in your Data Centers?

We got the Netbotz 310 and the camera part of it basically just sucks.
If you are not within 5' of it, it is very difficult if not impossible
to make out who might be in our Data Center.  I can get better images
and coverage from a cheap little web cam.  With that, I am looking for a
device that would be cheaper than the netbotz and provide me with temp
and humidity.  I did not see a product from them that only did this.

Thanks

Alan
