Re: [PLUG] temp sensors

["Andrew Tsen" <kloaker@gmail.com>]

Some cisco switches (depending on the IOS or CatOS) might have a
temperature output if you do 'show environment'.  And then you can whip
up a snmp probe to it and alert you.  As well as fan speed, etc.


We have invested some dough into a couple of sensors from: http://www.sensatronics.com/

Standard temp gauge comes with 4 probes and you can place them in four corners or even different rooms.  The probe is about 50' in length so you have plenty of slack to deploy.

We also have a humidity sensing probe (one of our servers room was always humid) so we got that.

All probes include a 10Mb network card ... and supports SNMP, so you can plug it into your nagios or whatever monitoring system you have.

And the ongoing APC plug continues...

Sensors that plug into the UPSs...

I'm sure other UPS vendors have similar products.
