Hardware Monitoring over a home network (Vista)

[RangerXLT8]

I'm wondering if there is anyway for me to monitor my other computers temps, voltages, CPU usage, etc over my home LAN. I'd like to use the normal programs like CPU-Z and so on. I can run CPUZ over the network from the other PC but it gives me my rigs specs...

A Google search gave me nothing....

Any ideas?

you may be able to get all that information via SNMP and graph it on MRTG or cacti

Or Remote Desktop into the PC and just have those apps running...

where is the fun in that :beer:

no fun but the easiest for sure. i recommend teamviewer for remoting to comps. very fast program. i frequently used it when ocing to monitor temps from work while i stress tested and what not. of course there is some delay and lag but far less than windows remote software.

Could you please elaborate on this?

well, with cacti you can setup individual devices like a router, switch, etc ... and graph them individually and its all in one user interface. you would have go find the SNMP values for what you want, and may need it customized to fit your needs, but you can make and import XML docs that graph the information on a chart to get what you want it does 5 min 1 day/month/year averages on everything

How would i go about getting the SNMP values for things like vcore, CPU frequency etc..

[gangaskan]

not sure, you would more or less have to ask on maybe the cacti forums. i'm pretty sure they would know more about it than i

MBM5 had logging. One could tail the logfile and read all data that way.
