Temperature status formatting for graphs 🔗 link

Hello,

  After reading over a few threads and staring at do_temperature.c for
awhile (like that helped), I'm a bit confused as to what format the
data needs to be in.  I was using temperature.sh from deadcat as a
template for monitoring ambient temp on an IBM H70, but I ended up
trimming it down to a basic script for maintenance purposes.

  So does the data need to be in _exactly_ the same format as sampled
in do_temperature.c or can there be extra columns and more spaces? 
I'd like to add the warn/panic thresholds to the status output for the
computer operators..

Thank You,

Extra columns will make it break. The code picks up the temperature
readings from the last two columns of each line, and assumes those are
the celsius- and fahrenheit-temperatures. Everything before those two
columns are treated as being part of the name of the sensor.

But your suggestions does make sense. How about this:

Device                Temp(C)  Temp(F)
&green Motherboard#0      31       87   (Warn: 40, Panic: 50)

i.e. your extra information is inside parenthesis ? I'd just strip
everything from '(' to ')' from the line before processing it, and
then handle the rest of the report as I do now - so you can put
whatever info you like there.

Henrik

Sounds like good solution..  (...and I was wondering why my rrd
filenames were coming out as `temperature.AMBIENT____________26.rrd 
:D )
