Re: MIB for cpu temperature and/or cpu cooling fans, hardware, monitoring

hi joao,

the net-snmp agent supports the LM-SENSORS MIB ... but as far as i can 
tell, only under Solaris (plse correct me if i'm wrong).  [on the one 
box where i have implemented it, the only items i could see were values 
for voltage, temperature, and fan speed ... and i haven't figured out 
what 'normal' is ... thus, i haven't figured out what thresholds to set]

under Windows, WTCS offers a free SNMP sub-agent for monitoring a range 
of popular hardware (supporting their INFORMANT-MBM MIB) ... and a 
commercial version (WMI-HW Agent) with wider and deeper support 
(www.snmp-informant.com), covering things like cpu temperature and fan 
speed.  [the hardware i own doesn't fall under their support list, so i 
don't have any experience using this]

but after that, i know of nothing 'generic', i.e. good across multiple 
hardware platforms.  various hardware manufacturers offer their own SNMP 
sub-agents (Dell is the only one i've implemented, shipped under the 
'OpenManage' moniker) which give access to hardware-specific information 
... but those implement enterprise MIBs, i.e. applicable only to that 
vendors' gear

[i vaguely imagine that the IPMI effort might end up delivering a 
generic SNMP interface to hardware-specific information.  but i'm making 
a wild guess here -- i don't know squat about IPMI. i'm hoping that 
someone who is better informed than i am will speak up at this point]

Hello,

Any one knows a MIB for board temperature and/or cpu cooling fans, or
generic system hardware monitoring ?

thx
