Monitoring
==========
I have various things monitored at home about the server I run. As I was
very concerned about the temperature of the server during the summer a
year or so back I began monitoring temperatures as well - I've used Day
Barr's plugins for monitoring now that the Dell desktop I use as my
server doesn't have any internal monitoring.
Anyhow, if there are any interesting plugins that I create, I'll put
them here. Eventually there should be a few that I've written which get
moved here in case they're useful to anyone else.
cambridge-dtg:
The Cambridge Digital Technology Group have some weather sensors
on the top of their labs. As they're accurate for Cambridge, where
I live at present, I use them as monitors for the general environment.
They give a reasonable indication of the temperatures at the time.
This can then be used alongside the server-specific temperature to
get some useful information.
The plugin can function either in text mode (where it really just
re-prints the textual information from their site), as an MRTG plugin,
or as a munin plugin.
