Compaq/HP used to have a Linux package for DL380 server health, but that was
for the 2.4 kernel and Redhat 7.2 about 10 years ago. What's the OS??
Someone here might have prior experience.

If the systems don't already have their own internal heat sensors, you can
easily add a One-Wire sensor to the closet. You can get ready-built modules
here:
http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=109&osCsid=efa67c007302cef289ca6efa1559e603
and either the serial or the USB adaptor:

http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=1503
Software to read One-Wire devices is here:
http://www.digitemp.com/software.shtml
You'll also need their cable to connect the module to the adaptor. If
you're handy with a soldering iron you could skip the module and just get
the bare temperature sensor (DS18S20), cut one jack off a phone cord and
solder the sensor to the relevant wires. The other jack on the phone wire
will plug directly into the adaptor.
I've got a script for reading the temps via digitemp and reporting to
Xymon, but the machine it's on is currently unreachable.
I'm not affiliated in any way to Hobby Boards, not even as a customer, but
I do have some of those sensors monitoring temps in parts of my workshop.

How is this done? I have some systems in a closet that we have problems
with heat and I would love to be able to monitor this with hobbit..

okay,
I figured out that Xymon can handle the temperature graph
automatically given the correct data format.
I found documented format to be:
Device Temp(C) Temp(F)
&green Temp1 42 90
&green Temp2 34 80
&green ACPI-Temp1 45 92
It's working all fine.
Thanks for all the help!
