Hi,

I have some Servers with a temperature problem. The temperature inside
the chassis is sometimes to high. So the server crashs.
The Server use a Windows 2000 on a ASUS P2B-D (12/08/00-i440BX-P2B-D)
mainboard. The hardware monitor chip is winbond 83781D and can be
readout with programs like Aida32, Sisoft SANDRA or AsusProbe.

Is it possible to send this information via SNMP to our Management
system (HP OpenView).
I've found some tutorials for Linux but none for Windwows.
Is it generally possible?

I am happy over suggestions.


Best regards,
Sebastian

It's certainly possible with off the shelf tools - for example you can
configure Motherboard Monitor to write to the Windows event log when
temperature exceeds the threshold, then have a Tivoli agent forward the
event - but that may not be feasible in your environment.

I guess my approach would be to have Motherboard Monitor do the hardware
interface and log it's readings to a text file, then I'd just have to
find or write code to parse the file and generate traps as appropriate.
If you Google for SNMP and Perl and/or Java you are likely to find some
decent starting points...

Sebastian,

I have pondered this for a while. It seems odd that the most basic of h/w
events are not event logged.
If in your travels you come across any useful source code that can read the
associated ports correctly, I could take a look at writing and event log
interface and go from there.
