Temperature monitoring of a network room?


We do not (as of yet) have IP based temp monitoring soooooo........


Does anyone have a great template that would look cool and give me brownie points and maybe even show trends in changes with out looking like a 4 cell Excel spread sheet?



thanks!
 
Hold up, you don't have anything to monitor temperature, but you want a spreadsheet to track information you either can't get, or have to look at a thermostat to get?

I am quite sure they will eventually get IP based monitoring.....however until then we are having interns check the temp......just wanted to see if anyone uses anything different.


Along with being lazy :(

Observium with SNMP monitoring.

They use Trane products for hvac and I know they offer IP based monitoring.....its just getting the upgrades......in due time.

We had a somewhat scare with 94deg temps after a circuit breaker flipped off.....so in the mean time we are doing analog based reporting.

One of those, then install MRTG (or RRDTool) and Perl on one of your servers (Windows or Linux, I've setup MRTG on both pretty easily). Then have it query the snmp mibs on those monitoring devices for room temps/humidity/etc. Then you'll get pretty graphs with trending over years if necessary.

Another way: if you have any remote access cards (dell idrac, hp ilo, supermicro ipmi, etc) in your servers, you could use the poll the snmp mibs for rudimentary room temperatures and possibly humidity (not sure if any of them have that though).
