Environmental monitoring

[Jeff Penno]

I'm currently monitoring the temperature and humidity in one of our server rooms with a Watchport/H sensor that costs about $150:  http://www.provantage.com/digi-international-301-1141~7DIGI015.htm

Software that comes with it is only for Windows but the modules are  built into the 2.6 kernel.  The sensor accepts ASCII text commands and so far has been very reliable.

I created a small script with ckermit to obtain the temperature and humidity, put that into a cronjob that runs every 5 minutes and then wrote a quick plugin to extract the readings from the ckermit log file and send them to Nagios.  It's setup to notify me on any warnings / critical temperatures & humidity values.

I'd like to upload the plugin / scripts to here but not quite sure if they're ready for prime time yet.  If you or anyone would like them, let me know.

Regards,

Jeff Penno.
