[mrtg] Re: Server Room Temperature Monitoring Questions

We have one of these on trial as well, and have successfully hooked it into
both MRTG and Nagios.

Swap the order of the OIDs, or override the colours in your .cfg file.

Heh... Americans need to modernise :)

If you are using rouetrs2.cgi v2.16 for your display, then you can use the
'c2f' option, which will perform and automatic centigrade to farenheight
conversion before display.

Alternatively, write a wrapper for the SNMP lookup that makes this
conversion.

Options[]: noo

Here is the config that we're using.  Note that it contains a lot of extra
display options for the routers.cgi frontend - these would be ignored by
your system if you don't use routers.cgi.

If you'd like to see the Nagios configuration template as well, let me know.

Hope this helps,
