Topic: PHPSysInfo 3.0 w/ temperatures and Voltages

[newburns]

I finally got PHPSysInfo to work the way I needed it to. It does everything except send email alerts. I will try to list my steps as best as I can remember.

1. Install PHPSysInfo according to the contribs wiki http://wiki.contribs.org/Phpsysinfo
2. Download the latest PHPSysInfo from sourcefourge, and untar it to /opt/ which will overwrite the directory phpsysinfo.
3. Edit the config page and be sure to set the sensors to 'LMSensors', and set hddtemp to 'TCP'

Code: [Select]

* Plugins that should be included in xml and output (!!!plugin names are case-sensitive!!!)
 * List of plugins should look like "plugin,plugin,plugin". See /plugins directory
 * - define('PSI_PLUGINS', 'MDStatus,PS'); // list of plugins
 * - define('PSI_PLUGINS', false); //no plugins
 * included plugins:
 * - MDStatus       - show the raid status and whats currently going on
 * - PS             - show a process tree of all running processes
 * - PSStatus       - show a graphical representation if a process is running or not
 * - Quotas         - show a table with all quotas that are active and there current state
 * - SMART          - show S.M.A.R.T. information from drives that support it
 * - BAT            - show battery state on a laptop
 * - ipmi           - show IPMI status
 * - UpdateNotifier - show update notifications (only for Ubuntu server)
 * - SNMPPInfo      - show printers info via SNMP
 */
define('PSI_PLUGINS', 'MDStatus,PSStatus,Quotas,SMART');


Code: [Select]

* Define the motherboard monitoring program (!!!names are case-sensitive!!!)
 * We support the following programs so far
 * - LMSensors  http://www.lm-sensors.org/
 * - Healthd    http://healthd.thehousleys.net/
 * - HWSensors  http://www.openbsd.org/
 * - MBMon      http://www.nt.phys.kyushu-u.ac.jp/shimizu/download/download.html
 * - MBM5       http://mbm.livewiredev.com/
 * - Coretemp
 * - IPMI       http://openipmi.sourceforge.net/
 * - K8Temp     http://hur.st/k8temp/
 * Example: If you want to use lmsensors : define('PSI_SENSOR_PROGRAM', 'LMSensors');
 */
define('PSI_SENSOR_PROGRAM', 'LMSensors');


Code: [Select]

* Define how to access the monitor program
 * Available methods for the above list are in the following list
 * default method 'command' should be fine for everybody
 * !!! tcp connections are only made local and on the default port !!!
 * - LMSensors  command, file
 * - Healthd    command
 * - HWSensors  command
 * - MBMon      command, tcp
 * - MBM5       file
 * - Coretemp   command
 * - IPMI       command
 * - K8Temp     command
 */
define('PSI_SENSOR_ACCESS', 'command');

/**
 * Hddtemp program
 * If the hddtemp program is available we can read the temperature, if hdd is smart capable
 * !!ATTENTION!! hddtemp might be a security issue
 * - define('PSI_HDD_TEMP', 'tcp');          // read data from hddtemp deamon (localhost:7634)
 * - define('PSI_HDD_TEMP', 'command');  // read data from hddtemp programm (must be set suid)
 */
define('PSI_HDD_TEMP', 'tcp');

4. I had to use the following code, as stated here  http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,22018.msg87606.html#msg87606

Code: [Select]

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S86lm_sensors
/sbin/e-smith/config set lm_sensors service status enabled
5.

Code: [Select]

sensors-detectBecause of step 4, there should not be an error at the end of this procedure that states "lm_sensors is not a recognized service"
Be sure to do whatever the program says to do as far as editing files and what not, if nothing, keep hitting 'yes'

6. I had issues with the version of hddtemp, and running all six drives in DAEMON mode, so I updated my version of hddtemp from the EPEL repo. I'm not sure if it is located in another repo, but as most know, I usually yum install from all repos. With the existing version of hddtemp on SME, I was only able to get two drives to work.

Code: [Select]

hddtemp         x86_64         0.3-0.16.beta15.el5          epel          47 kThe current version of hddtemp should work, and all you must do is set your drives to run in daemon. My code uses 6 hard drives, yours will be different based on your drives
i.e.

• /dev/sd[x] for SATA
• /dev/hd[x] for PATA)
  
  Code: [Select]
  hddtemp -d /dev/sd[abcdef]
telnet localhost 7634The code should return some values showing your current hard drive temperatures
  
  7. Now you must edit the SMART plugin config
  
  Code: [Select]
  nano /opt/phpsysinfo/plugins/SMART/SMART.config.phpadd your harddrives to the config.
  
  Code: [Select]
  /**
 * Smartctl devices to monitor
 * If the smartctl support is enabled, those disks information will be displayed
 * - define('PSI_PLUGIN_SMART_DEVICES', '/dev/hda,/dev/hdb');  // Will display those two disks informations
 */
define('PSI_PLUGIN_SMART_DEVICES', '/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, /dev/sde, /dev/sdf');
  8. Go to "http://domain.tld/phpsysinfo", input your admin credentials, and you should see a fuly stocked phpsysinfo page, with a lot of useful values. Does a lot of what Sysmon and SME8admin does, but with the options to have more hard drives monitored, exclude mounted filesystems, and monitor UPS!
  
  Let me know if you have issues, and I will try to assist as best I can.

This is very awesome with the PSIAndroid app for android phones. It gives you a snapshot of any SME servers within seconds. Good for Temp monitoring, especially after email notifications from another monitoring service.

Quick story,
I have a portable air conditioner in a closet to cool my three production servers. Sometimes, the power will go pulse and cause the a/c to go off.
After an email from ACPusd about the ups losing power and coming back on within seconds, I was able to monitor the temps from this app while I was out of town.
Normally, I would just use the newly acquired SME8admin, but it doesn't monitor all the temps, just two. And CPU temps does not work. This way, you can manually monitor the temps and voltages and manually intervene when you know there is a problem using something like connectbot for android. All done from a mobile phone!

[Mntsnow]

Nice....I just may have to try upgrading

[Mntsnow]

How do you upgrade hddtemp ?

I tried "yum install hddtemp" and it said "nothing to do" and then I tried "yum upgrade hddtemp" and it said "no packages marked for update"

btw I have hddtemp-0.3-0.16.beta15.el5.i386 already installed via the sme8admin contrib (I think it was that one that installed it)

[newburns]

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=epel install hddtempI found the one I am using from Epel repository.

[Mntsnow]

Thank you....trying it now

Edit . Looks like I have the latest version as Epel says I have the current version.  hmmm

[newburns]

So you are good to go for the rest. Let me know how the rest of the walk through is. Very stored as this is my first one

[Mntsnow]

I've got it going for the most part....Just not getting the SMART working. 

When I do the hddtemp -d /dev/sda  and telnet portion it says "|/dev/sda|3ware Logical Disk 0|NA|*|Connection closed by foreign host."  so I guess my 3ware raid card doesn't support SMART but I see SMART is enabled in the BIOS when booting up the server...   (btw this is not the server in my sig but my test/dev box)

[newburns]

Oh yea. There was an issue with permissions. You can either chmod 777 your smartctl or change your smartctl script.

I'll go check out the link

777 is E V I L and should always be avoided
smartctl supports 3ware, just read smartctl's man page and use google

[Mntsnow]

I didn't need to change chmod as the "stock" 755 works ok...

with my 3ware SATA Raid card I had to use:

Code: [Select]

smartctl --all -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0Which returned the following info:  (of course if I changed it to -d 3ware,X (x=0 through 5) I could see all 6 drives)

I still have problems getting hddtemp to work so more digging

[Mntsnow]

This is what I get when doing the hddtemp

[root@sme-2 ~]# hddtemp -d /dev/sda
[root@sme-2 ~]# telnet localhost 7634
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
|/dev/sda|3ware Logical Disk 0|NA|*|Connection closed by foreign host.
[root@sme-2 ~]#

[newburns]

Are your drives in the hddtemp.db?
There's a simple way to add then using fdisk or smartctl, I just can't find it right now.
 http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=37138.0

[newburns]

Also, I have temperatures shown in my temperatures category as well as the SMART information. Do you show temps in SMART?

[Mntsnow]

Yes I show temps in Smart......   I will take a look at the hddtemp.db shortly.

Thanks for helping a newbie

[root@sme-2 ~]# smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0 | grep -i temp
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0022   120   103   000    Old_age   Always       -       30

Edit - Yes my drives are listed in the hddtemp.db

[Mntsnow]

Sorry to bump this old thread but it's dealing with what I'm fighting with as I retired the server I was working with before in this thread and now my dev box is a PowerEdge 2950

I have to use the following to string from the command line to pull information from my Dell PERC6/i raid controller (of course changing X to the drive wanted)

Code: [Select]

smartctl -a /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,0XSo what do I place in the section for drive monitoring as it just normally says

Code: [Select]

/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc which doesn't work for me..
nor does

Code: [Select]

(sat+megaraid.00)/dev/sda, or

Code: [Select]

(megaraid.00)/dev/sda, or

Code: [Select]

(megaraid.0)/dev/sda,
