Dear lm-sensors team,
We are using lm-sensors on lots of machines to monitor their temperature
(http://sensors.cs.uchicago.edu).
One mechanism for alerts is to have one central computer walk through all
sensor data and e-mail us when it gets out of range.
cacti, zenoss, etc. walk the snmp tree and can get this data, e.g.:
root@server:~# snmpwalk -v2c -cpublic microbe
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsTable
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsIndex.1 = INTEGER: 0
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsIndex.2 = INTEGER: 1
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsIndex.3 = INTEGER: 2
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsDevice.1 = STRING: CPU0 Fan
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsDevice.2 = STRING: fan2
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsDevice.3 = STRING: fan3
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsValue.1 = Gauge32: 1038
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsValue.2 = Gauge32: 10384
LM-SENSORS-MIB::lmFanSensorsValue.3 = Gauge32: 0
We want to be notified by the machine itself via a trap sent to a trap
destination server every time one of the indices configured in
/etc/sensors.conf triggers an alarm, e.g.
- temperature threshold CPU(s) / MB
- fan(s) threshold
- voltage threshold
This simplifies infrastructure configuration a lot. We already have in
place specific sensors.conf for about 30 motherboards.
I cannot find anywhere on lm-sensors.org or on net-snmp.org a proper
(current) example of configuring snmpd.conf/sensors.conf to send trap
notifications.
Since it appears that /usr/share/snmp/mibs/LM-SENSORS-MIB.txt does not
contain any trap definitions, I am assuming this functionality is not
implemented. Is this correct? If so, are there plans to have such
functionality added?
If I am mistaking and there is such functionality in both packages, can
someone please point me to the proper documentation?
Thank you,
