Test Cpu temperature

[fantacilli]

Hello everybody,

i'm a new member and i have poor experience using Hostmonitor.

My purpose is to monitorize the CPU temperature of all server (windows 2003) in my lan.

I have installed Hostmonitor in a pc with Windows Xp professional where it operate correctly.

I have installed an active RMA Agent on my work's computer (Windows xp) to make a proof.

In hostmonitor, i add a new test, i select WMI as test method and my work's computer as host: now when i select the WMI Explorer button, a list of class appear. Which i must select?
I try with win32_temperatureprobe and with cim_temperaturesensor but there isn't an istance.

do i a mistake?

I try with win32_temperatureprobe and with cim_temperaturesensor but there isn't an istance.

There is a special WMI driver/provider should be installed in order to get win32_temperatureprobe class to work. As far as I know only a limitted number of vendors (HP-Compaq, IBM ...) are delivering these as part of their system management packages for some of their high-end WS and Servers. Probably, you shoul use following query:

Code: Select all

SELECT CurrentTemperature FROM MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature

To use this query, you should specify "Root\WMI" into "Name Space" input box in "Test Properties" window.

Beside that, servers usually provide such information using SNMP protocol.
If you hardware comes with appropriate SNMP agent, use SNMP Get test method. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... tm#chkSNMP

Hi KS-Soft Europe,

i try with WMI query that you indicate, but my server don't have the specific Wmi driver for that information.

So I should want to use SNMP get method.

When i open the MIB browser, i have the hierarchy tree of SNMP variables: whic i select for temperature?

Thanks for all.

First you should check what exactly server do you have and what software comes with it. E.g. Compaq offers Compaq Management Agent + Compaq Insight Manager software. Motherboard manufacturer could profide similar software as well. Then you may load/compile appropriate MIB files (that comes with server software) using MIB Browser...

Actually HostMonitor may monitor any SNMP counter without using MIB Browser and MIB file but you should know what OID do you need to check. To find out OID you need to know what server do you use and what SNMP Agent is installed on the server.

If you have standard Windows system without any additional SNMP software installed, then there is no "temperature" counter.

Hi fantacilli,

we are doing that for some of our HP Servers with the following MIB just typed in the SNMP-Test (I can't do that using the Mib-Browser)
So just copy and paste and try it

4 CPUs show up:
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.0.1
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.0.2
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.0.3
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.0.4

HP Management Agents maybe necessary for that - I'm not sure.
I found out that MIB via HP Insight Manager

Best regards

Juergen
