If I understand correctly, the guy is asking for a suggestion/recommendation.
Nagios can do this in combination with a hardware monitoring like "Websensor EM01B" http://www.nagios.org/products/environmental/esensors/em01b.php > The Websensor EM01B connects directly to your Ethernet network via a 10/100 > Mbps switch or hub port. It provides monitoring for temperature, > illumination (light level) and relative humidity, and is ideal for > monitoring environmental conditions in server rooms and wiring closets. It > is capable of measuring DC voltages, which allows you to check battery > supply voltages of UPS units or renewable energy sources. The new thermistor > interface allows you to interface external special use sensors, such as > liquid temperature measurement and the new contact closure detection allows > you to detect door open conditions (for security purposes) or configure > equipment start-up and shut-down conditions. > The Websensor by Esensors enables you to monitor temperature, humidity and > illumination in one location. > The Websensor comes in 3 versions: > EM01B-STD features contact closure monitoring. EM01B-VLT features DC voltage > monitoring. EM01B-THM features Thermistor add-on monitoring. Features - Attaches to a standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port - Sensor data is transmitted by internal web server - Uses the Ethernet port to configure Websensor IP address [image: New!] - Internal sensors for temperature, relative humidity, and illumination - Measures voltage (0 to 18 VDC)[image: New!] - Detects contact closure [image: New!] - Thermistor interface for external/optional temperature sensing [image: New!] - Optional ESBus for external sensors (power line monitoring, etc.) - Programmable email alerts to notify user of MIN/MAX set-point violations in temperature, relative humidity and illumination I had a multiple Nagios production deployment both in-house and to client sites on my last job and quite satisfied with it. Regarding Cacti, currently using it to monitor my home server..... :p ------ Follow Me: http://kramfs.com -[ OpenSource, Open Ideas ]- On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Darren Murphy <[email protected]>wrote: > Nagios is fine, but it is more for network monitoring. > My reading of the OP is that he is after something that will do > environmental monitoring. > I've actually been on the lookout for something similar myself for a while. > My idea is to have some IP enabled temperature sensors, and monitor them > using something like Cacti. > But I haven't yet been able to find any suitable (reasonably priced) > sensors. > > Any bright ideas out there? > > cheers, > Darren > > 2009/2/16 Michael Boman <[email protected]> > > I have used Nagios in a production environment and it works.
