I really like the 1-wire sensors. They are really small, really inexpensive, and really easy to connect together.
What makes them useful for your question is this $100 unit that provides an Ethernet bridge. http://www.edsproducts.com/OW-SERVER--1-Wire-to-Ethernet-Server_p_152.html You get SNMP access to the devices, or if you'd rather an HTTP hosted XML document that will give you readings from all the sensors on the network. Don't be mislead by the 3 1-wire ports, each of those can support a seperate 1-wire network with many sensors. I'm getting alot of my 1-wire sensors from iButtonLink: http://www.ibuttonlink.com/ We have alot of the T-Sense sensors for $15 each. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
