RE: Hardware monitoring

Just for getting your feet wet and doing so on a (tiny) budget..... If you want to monitor non-SNMP devices such as 
things like room temp probes, water leak detection, generator/ats/ups alarm outputs, etc . You could look into 
something like the APC AP9340 units 

These support APC's own temp/humidity probes, various user input, modbus rs-485 port, etc. 

They are very cheap (~$100) or so in ebay land and are quite easy to monitor via SNMP.

Hi everyone,

I know this is slightly off-topic, but since it's still related to the list, I thought I'd give it a try. I am 
wondering what systems are out there (open source, preferably) for data collection and processing of hardware health 
data (temperature, CPU clock, fan speeds, etc). Ideally brand agnostic and location agnostic as well.

I know of Cacti, but it would require SNMP enabled devices AFAIK, so room/generator/misc monitors wouldn't necessarily 
be included.


Thanks in advance.
