I'd like to ask the list what products people are using to monitor their environments. By this I'm referring to datacenters, and other equipment. Temperature, humidity, airflow, cameras, dry contacts, door sensors, leak detection, all that sort of thing. I've used Netbotz in the past. Looking to see what else is out there that people like. Thanks E
Coming from a University environment... data center has all sorts of different solutions, including some NetBotz. Leak detection and physical plant/HVAC stuff is mostly "legacy" (bell and flashing lights) in the Ops room. Latest project has been deploying Websensors (http://www.eesensors.com/WebsensorEM01B.html) distributed around the room. We also have a few prototype boards, sort of like a netbotz without the camera, that were done as a senior project for an EE student a few years back... actually quite stable and useful. In smaller TCs/ERs, i.e. anything one room with a few racks, we generally either have a netbot plus whatever addon for the UPS or, if we have a services machine deployed there (Linux box for dhcp/dns/remote access) we use a Dalls One-Wire adapter with some sensors, accessed through OWFS on that box and monitored in Nagios. -J.
