Agreed -- there are already tons of temp sensors throughout old and new hardware. I've used SCSI drive queries via sdparm and more recently hddtemp to get the current temperature of the drives. No need for SNMP or ILO, though that can give you a more detailed picture where possible. You first mon

we use: https://serverscheck.com/sensors/ - simple setup, graph nicely in Cacti. I went with ServerCheck wired based units + external temp+humidity probe. The base unit displays the temperature which is a nice quick reference if you are in the room. On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 8:31 AM, Dan White wrot

If all that you require is temperature monitoring, I recommend going through the SNMP MIBs and doing an snmpwalk of your devices to identify the sensors at the air intake... Unfortunately there are some devices which do not have air intake sensors, but only a sensor somewhere generally in the cent

Weathergoose by IT watchdogs. 1U rackmount devices with very shallow depth of about an inch or two. Sensors are cheap, varied, and you can daisychain dozens of them together. So one server box can monitor entire row of racks. Loads of other features too for notification, escalation, and SNMP man

We have Sensaphones (sensaphone.com) in remote offices. We use IMS-4000s. They are a 1RU box with RJ45 jacks on the front. You can run CAT-5 to where you want to monitor something, and stick a module on the end of the cable. They have temp, humidity, generic NO/NC sensors, power sensors to
