Any sensor that provides data using SNMP protocol so you can set SNMP Get, SNMP Table and/or SNMP Trap tests.
In some cases HTTP/HTTPS protocols can be used as well.

E.g. sensors from https://infrasensing.com/sensors/api.asp#nms
User manual http://manuals.serverscheck.com/InfraSe ... atform.pdf

What we don't like in this system - sensors use String data type for value readings, not Integer. So HostMonitor may compare string "5" to string "10" and decide "5" is higher value, as workaround you may use "Optional status processing" expressions, e.g.
- Set Warning status if "%SuggestedReply%">50
this way HostMonitor will try to translate string to the number and compare 2 numbers.

Do you have in mind some other sensors?
Can you point to the manual?
We can check how it would fit HostMonitor test methods..

Also you may check inlet/intake temperature on some devices, e.g. Cisco routers. HostMonitor 12.80 will support more hardware..

We use the Geist Watchdog Sensors with the SNMP Get (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.21239.5.1.2.1.5.1)

Will bring back a 3 digit result (ie: 806) = 80.6F
