[mrtg] Re: Monitoring Temperature

[Hart, Kevin]

I have been using a product called the Weatherduck which is a serial port
device
(NT and W2k only). http:\\www.itwatchdogs.com. 

The device has internal sensors for temperature, humidity, airflow and
light. There is
also a 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 NT/W2K box which it is attached to. 
This makes it easy to use with MRTG for these devices. For the external
1-wire devices, I use 
a PERL script to grab the temps and return them to MRTG.

The device has an Alarm page which can send E-mail notifications based on
thresholds which you set.

If you are adventurous you can try Qkits
http://www.qkits.com/serv/qkits/diy/pages/QK145.asp or 
http://www.phanderson.com/tm125.html These serial port 1-WIRE units are less
expensive but require some handy work
to put together and a little programming to grab the data.

Hope this helps,
Kevin

Sorry for the previous mixed up post, please see below:

We would like to monitor temperature in our server rack in our data center.
We do not have any equipment that we can use for this. Does anyone have any
suggestion for temperature monitoring (utilizing MRTG of course), buying
some new hardware is an option but what??
