I am trying to stay away from SNMP, some people believe that SNMP is the
work of the devil and creates another security hackable avenue.

Are there any other options out there?

Thanks,
Tom

Doing that all the time ... and a bunch of other parameters, too (fan 
speed, RAID drive status, redundant PSU status, temp of UPS, line 
voltage, mail queue length, ...)

I wrote snmpvar.monitor which queries any variable accessible via SNMP.
See 
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/contrib/monitors/snmpvar/ .

I have also used the ucd-snmp extension exec feature to make some of 
these parameters available via SNMP in the first place on Linux 
machines.  It's fairly trivial to stick (lm_)sensors into this (first 
make sure the sensors stuff works and gives correct readings!).

E-mail and paging are of course standard mon alert actions.

Repetition is also standard unless you use alertevery.

watch environment
        service snmpval
                interval 15m
                monitor snmpval.monitor
                alert mail.alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                alert qpage.alert oper_pager

This will check all configured variables against high & low limits and 
complain every 15min by pager and E-mail until the values are back in 
range.
