My server room has it's own ac unit - it isn't tied in any way to the campus HVAC system so I have no way of monitoring the temp in the room unless I'm here. Well - last night it tripped the circuit breaker and it was a balmy 90+ degrees when I came in to work. Thank goodness nothing failed.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a basic sensor that can email my pager if the temp goes past a certain threshold? I don't need a camera or humidity/fire sensor - just temperature. It's in a secure enough location and if it's on fire or flooded there won't be anything I can do anyway. This isn't a major data center - it's just a room with 3 racks of servers and a data rack. That said - we run on less than a shoestring budget and I can't risk having this happen again. -- Organization and good planning are just crutches for people that can't handle stress and caffeine. - unknown ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
