Usually servers 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

Also you may use WMI test and query like "Select Status from Win32_TemperatureProbe" http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ts.htm#wmi

However, some 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 this 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.

CurrentTemperature counter represents temperature at thermal zone in tenths of degrees Kelvin. If you need Celcius, you may use "Tune up Reply value" option with the following expression:

Code: Select all
