Temperature plugin for xymon
list Foster Patch
Hello, I’ve been browsing the internet for a plugin/extension that will monitor server temperature and alarm if it gets too high. I have been unsuccessful, mostly because the links I find lead to dead pages. I was wondering if there was anyone here who has used on of these and can recommend a reliable download. Thank you! -Foster Patch

Depending on the OS and/or hardware, no two server models (let alone manufacturers) necessarily provide that info in the same way, so you probably have to be a LOT more specific; and that's probably why there's no one magic script to answer the question for all systems! Suns are definitely different by model; some will show that as ok/not ok in prtdiag output (with the easy option of just checking the prtdiag return code - if it's non-zero, something is not right; that's as opposed to parsing a format that varies by model). Some won't show temperature at all, but leave it to the LOM or SC to monitor the environment. Some that show ok/not ok won't show the actual temperature. For example: my Sun Blade 100 shows actual temps, ok/not ok, and even the thresholds; while my Sun Blade 2000 and T5240 (on the control LDOM) only show ok/not ok. (I recall others that don't show anything on the domain, but those weren't mine, and I'm retired now, so I can't check.) Intel Macs seem to keep temp info in their "SMC" (and a "smc" command-line utility bundled with smcfancontrol can read that in raw form), but vary by model as to the number of sensors and four character keys assigned to them (which are probably not fully documented anywhere outside of Apple, if even there). I have three different models each of Suns and Macs @ home. Anything else I have (Linux, Windows, etc) is NOT running on bare metal, and so will not have temperature reports for me to look at and see how they might appear.

Some time ago I had found the lm_sensors project. There were some instructions for many hardware. Sorry to say, but right now the web-site http://lm-sensors.org/ have no more content about this. However the lm-sensors was included in many Linux distributions (at least on CentOS, RHEL 6.x and similar), so it was possible to: # install yum install lm_sensors # run to detect devices sensors-detect # and if OK (it has drivers for your hardware) then can get the output: sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +8.3 C (crit = +31.3 C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +57.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 0: +54.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 1: +52.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 2: +51.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 3: +54.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) power_meter-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface power1: 0.00 nW (interval = 300.00 s) coretemp-isa-0004 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 1: +50.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 0: +50.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 1: +49.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 2: +45.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Core 3: +49.0 C (high = +78.0 C, crit = +88.0 C) Detailed information is available at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/thermal/ Please, drop me a mail if You will find anything useful.

we ship a self-developed temp plugin with Debian's hobbit-plugins collection (https://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hobbit-plugins.html). Its source code can be found at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/hobbit-plugins.git/tree/src/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/temp but it needs also the Perl module Hobbit.pm from the same package: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/hobbit-plugins.git/tree/src/usr/share/perl5/Hobbit.pm Kind regards, Axel Beckert -- Axel Beckert <user-96d9963fe797@xymon.invalid> support: +41 44 633 26 68 IT Services Group, HPT H 6 voice: +41 44 633 41 89 Departement of Physics, ETH Zurich CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/
