SpeedFan Script & Templates - [v2.0 - 2009-04-04]

Speedfan Script & Templates
By BSOD2600

--Changelog--
2.0: Re-wrote scripts. Ditched Script Server and now pure SNMP Data Queries. If upgrading, delete *ALL* existing Speedfan Data input methods, Data templates, and Graph templates as they all have changed. Keep any custom graph templates you've created for your systems for Speedfan. Exported with Cacti 0.8.7d.
1.1: Updated ss_* scripts to work with Cacti 0.8.7
1.0: Initial release. Exported w/Cacti 0.8.6j

--Requirements--

• Speedfan 4.3x
• SpeedFan SNMP Extension 0.1.0-10
• SNMPWALK .1.3.6.1.4.1.16 to verify proper configuration of Speedfan and sfsnmp.

--Installation--
1. Copy the scripts to your cacti\resources\snmp_queries\ folder.
2. Import the templates.
3. Add the Speedfan Associated Data Queries to a device.
4. Click on the 'Create Graphs for this Host' screen.
5. Select the various SpeedFan sources you want to graph. Click create.


--Notes--

• The 'Create Graphs for this Host' screen shows sample SNMP data from Speedfan to assist with adding only the correct indexes. Disregard the numbers are not what you see in Speedfan. This is due to the data needing most often needed to be divided by 100 (which the graph templates already handle).
• Speedfan does not implement indexes. Thus, if you change your hardware around, Speedfan will shift device ordering around, possibly changing the order in which sfsnmp & Cacti are monitoring. This can adversely affect monitoring and graphs.
• Speedfan does not expose the descriptions to sfsnmp. Thus, the Data Source & Graph Templates label things by the SNMP Index number. On each graph template, you can manually change the name to something more logical.
• For more meaningful graphs, you should create custom graphs which include all of the related system enviroment types together (fan, voltage, and temperature). Another method is to use the Aggregate plugin to expedite this process.
• These scripts are more efficient than the original ones which come with the Speedfan SNMP extension, since it uses intelligent Data Queries which are pure SNMP.

New version uploaded which works with cacti 0.8.7.

Hi all.
Please upload the SpeedFan addon to file-sharer
rapisdhare or orher.
http://code.bastart.eu.org/projects/sfsnmp/ - not work.
Thanks.

[BSOD2600]

I don't have it. It's a problem with the main hosting company.

It found here

sfsnmp-0.0.4-12.msi

The link ( http://code.bastart.eu.org/projects/sfsnmp ) to the SNMP agent for SpeedFan is apparently dead. I have been unable to revive it with archive.org, nyud.net or google's cache.

Would someone who has the SNMP agent already downloaded please e-mail it to me. I will try to contact the author and get permission to mirror it for him.

Thanks.

Thanks. For someone paid to be smart, I can be pretty damn dense.

Eventually once the SNMP extension author adds snmpwalk capabilities, I'll re-write the scripts so the queries are index and more dynamic (like the Interface/disk usage templates).

Done. Version 0.1.0 was just released. It supports SNMP-Walk and many other improvements (i.e. the counter values work now).
Please post any problems you might have with it in the forum

If you want, I'll include your templates in the next distribution.

BTW, the server was dead because I moved recently. I now have the Server hosted on a 100MBit dedicated server (with 249 days uptime , so it shouldn't be down as often anymore.

PS: There now is a subversion repository at https://code.bastart.eu.org/svn/sfsnmp

Another question about this: Could you also provide a version of the templates with Celsius values ?

[BSOD2600]

Sweet! I'll start working on the new templates this weekend, to take advantage of the snmpwalk capability. Ya, I can release a set of graph templates which show Celsius instead.

One thing I did notice though is that your 0.1.0 installer requires the older version to be uninstalled. Problem is that it's not listed in the Add/Remote programs nor is there any shortcut in my Start menu! Luckly I was able to manually invoke it by running:

Code: Select all

MsiExec.exe /I{BD393DAA-8458-4DC2-8325-FC9AAFA67B34}

Cool, I wanted to have automated graph creation for quite a while now

Regarding the installer, try the MSI Cleanup Utility from Microsoft. Seems to help with many installer problems:

Already tried. It wasn't listed (at least not that I could find).

[Ago]

Hrmmm, I'll try to get real version increment of the MSI Version in the next version... this way the installer will automatically upgrade old installations. I was just too lazy to do it for this version

[BSOD2600]

Also, your installer defaults to D:\SFSNMP\. It'd be a good idea to install in a common directory like C:\Program Files\SFSNMP\
