The boxes I'm monitoring are windows box, so I had to go a slightly
convulted route to get the temperature information
1.) Install SpeedFan to enable monitoring for the desired temperature
probes
2.) Configure SpeedFan to run as a service at boot up to enable
non-login monitoring
3.) Installed ActiveState Perl to run the script to extract the
temperature information out of SpeedFan's log file and output the file
into BBNT's saved logs directory
4.) Configured Windows to run the temp perl script every five minutes
In terms of Linux servers, I know there are scripts out there that
will work on lm-sensors and you may have to tweak them to get the
right output, but I don't imagine it will be hard. I just don't have
any linux boxes in this setup that have a working lm-sensors setup.
If you'd like the script I wrote, even though it's probably horrible
perl, I can post it up.

How is this done? I have some systems in a closet that we have problems
with heat and I would love to be able to monitor this with hobbit..

okay,
I figured out that Xymon can handle the temperature graph
automatically given the correct data format.
I found documented format to be:
Device Temp(C) Temp(F)
-----------------------------------
&green Temp1 42 90
&green Temp2 34 80
&green ACPI-Temp1 45 92
It's working all fine.
Thanks for all the help!

On my side, I'm monitoring almost only linuxes. I wrote a script to get
temp/speed/voltages from sensors using lm-sensors (and hddtemp for hdd
temp...)
it's tested on a few different machines (like 4), but seems to be not too
much buggy.
You can get it here :

If you take it, just tell me if you changed something in, so i'll include
your changes.
