I'm looking for some centralized network health monitoring software. Specifically I'd like to keep an eye on tempearatures of devices on my network during the warmer summer months. In one room I have a Cisco 2950 switch, a machine running WHS, a SFF M0n0wall box, and of course my personal machine as well. Ideally this would be something centralized (a WHS add-in would be ideal but that may be asking too much). I'm sure for alot of these I can get monitoring tools that run on the individual platforms but I'd like something more unified. Also I'm not sure if such a unified tool would jive with the M0n0wall box (running FreeBSD, I believe) but I consider that strictly a bonus.

Anyone know of something like this that's available for free? I didn't see anything in the list of free stuff.

Slap Cacti or Nagios on your FreeBSD box. That should do the trick.

Edit: I don't think your 2950 has a temperature sensor, though. Cisco are terrible with accurate temperature monitoring in access switches. My 3560 merely has "OK" or "NOT OK" readings.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot...as soon as I learn how to install them

Cacti seems good, as already suggested.

Intermapper is good - but I bet it's expensive.
