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.

  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.
