Call me crazy (and no offense to the maintainer of Devmon), but I
thought it'd be easier to get a value straight from the ESM via IPMI
on the client and pass it to the server through the usual Hobbit
channels rather than deal with OMSA, SNMP (which I find to be a
misnomer), and Devmon. Not to mention the firewall rules I'd have to
add for SNMP, which adds a couple layers of bureaucracy to the whole
thing.
There was a BB script on deadcat, but it doesn't do what I want, so
I'm writing an ext script now, and will probably share the files (such
as they are) with y'all when they're done.

Does anyone have a script to take the system temperature data from the IPMI interface (say, on a Dell box), report it to Hobbit, and pass the data to RRD so we get lovely temperature graphs?
I personally don't like IPMI much over SNMP ... is there any reason
not to use OMSA, snmpd, and devmon? Then you should get temperature graphs (with devmon 0.3.0rc1), as well as status monitoring for hardware RAID controllers, fans, and power supplies.Regards, Buchan
