Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am reaching out to seek guidance on monitoring the temperature of a Hyper-V host that is running multiple Windows Server virtual machines (VMs).
Could you please provide guidance or resources on how to achieve this monitoring functionality?

Thanks!

Hi @fanis_imetrix,

I don't believe Hyper V temperature monitoring is included in the existing Hyper V wizard for Nagios XI. I've taken a look through Nagios Exchange to see if I can find a plugin that provides temperature information, but I'm not seeing anything that explicitly calls out that functionality. You may need to write a custom plugin for this if you aren't able to find one. If you'd like to take a look to see if anything on the Exchange site will meet your needs, the link can be found here:

https://exchange.nagios.org

If you aren't able to find a plugin on the exchange that already does this, I don't believe there is one unfortunately, I'll add some documentation for developing plugins. If you are comfortable with it you can use a plugin for hyper-v that is already working and look into adding temperature monitoring to it.

Thank you for your responses!

Are there any existing plugins available for temperature monitoring on Windows servers in general, not limited to Hyper-V. If you're aware of any such plugins or have recommendations on where to find them, I'd greatly appreciate your insights.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

I'm not seeing anything for Windows specifically. It looks like the eSensors Websensor wizard is the closest I can find in our list of included wizards. I also found a few plugins on Nagios Exchange that monitor temperature, mostly for server gear, however:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ng/details
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ty/details

Hopefully these are helpful to you somewhat in referencing how to write this in your own plugin.

The closest one I could locate in our list of included wizards is the eSensors Websensor wizard. Additionally, I discovered several temperature monitoring plugins on Nagios Exchange.

Hey @fanis_imetrix

Just wanted to check in to see if you came up with a solution for this or found any other plugins that were similar?

Monitoring the temperature of a Hyper-V host with multiple Windows Server VMs can be done using tools like Windows Admin Center, which provides overall system health metrics including temperature. Additionally, third-party solutions like HWMonitor or Open Hardware Monitor can be installed on the Hyper-V host to provide detailed temperature readings.

Hi all,

I used Open Hardware Monitor and i solved the problem.

Thank you all.

Best regards
