Distributed Temperature Monitor using IPMI

• ipmi-tools on the head server
• Python 2.6+ on the head server
• The head server must be able to reach the nodes via an IPMI address

• ./tempmon-start.sh: start monitoring the nodes
• ./tempmon-stop.sh: stop monitoring the nodes
• ./tempmon-status.sh: query the state of Tempmon
• ./test.sh for unit tests

• hosts file: list the hostnames or IP addresses of the nodes to monitor. If using hostnames, these should be resolved via the /etc/hosts file.
• config file: Holds Tempmon parameters. Main parameters:
  • SENSOR_INTERVAL: frequency of monitoring, in seconds (default: 3600 seconds / 1 hour)
  • OUTPUT_DIR: directory that will hold output data (default: $HOME/ipmi-data)
  • HOST_FILE: indicates host file to read (default: hosts)

• One CSV file is generated for each node, in the directory indicated by OUTPUT_DIR parameter in the config file.
• CSV Format:
