I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but if this wheel doesn't exist, I
guess I'll go invent it. :)
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.

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.

Well, you'll may have problems with different numbers of temperature probes on different models etc. so if you use NCV, and push multiple values into one rrd, you will need multiple, differing graph definitions, and have have problems selecting the right graph definition.
The devmon collector (either the c module for Hobbit, or the perl one to run as an extra script with hobbitd_rrd) results in one rrd file per probe, making this much simpler.
(I don't have many Dells, most are 1750s, but I see a lot of problems with the HP ProLiants, the DL380s have 5 probes, the DL580s have 7).
Not to mention the firewall rules I'd have to add for SNMP, which adds a couple layers of bureaucracy to the whole thing.
How is that different to IPMI (which is also UDP).

Good luck with the graphs.

I've seen this come up a couple of times but I don't recall if anyone ever took the time to provide a script. There is an OpenManage script on The Shire. I think there were others that were looking at using devmon for this (maybe?) or snmp.

When you say shire, do you mean deadcat, or the hobbit shire? I can't find any files on the hobbit shire page off of sourceforge. Could you provide a link if there are files out there?

Hey Taylor,
The Shire uses a wiki store all it's content. I started off on Sourceforge and may eventually return but I couldn't do what I wanted there so I moved it back in house (literally). Just let the redirect take you where you need to go :-).
