Don't know if you're interested, but there's a new nagios plugin based on the ownet Python module. It's located under module/swig/python/ownet/examples/check_ow.py. The ownet module runs on any platform supported by Python without having the whole owfs system installed locally. It does this by implementing the owserver protocol in Python. The big advantage that I see is to allow for easier installations. Install the full owfs on the system with the 1-wire devices connected and run owserver there. Install the ownet module on the system (Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, OS X, whatever) running Nagios. The check_ow program running on the Nagios server talks directly to the owserver program running on the owfs server to collect data. Makes for a nice easy setup. Of course I could just be imagining that it make for an easier installation ;-) - Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
