CPU Temperature in Windows

[maikcat]

hi all,

after searching alot around how to monitor cpu temp in windows
i finally came with the following workaround.

1) i install realtemp_360 software (its free) (i extract the contents in c:\realtemp
2) i also use awk.exe and tail.exe which i found as unxutil.zip from sourceforge
3) i run it (the realtemp.exe) with the following options on: log file , start minimized, minimize on close

it creates a file named realtemplog.txt into same directory with the binary realtemp.exe is

4) i insert the following into zabbix-agentd.conf client file

UserParameter=temp.tempcore0,tail -1 c:\realtemp\Realtemplog.txt | awk "{print $4}"
UserParameter=temp.tempcore1,tail -1 c:\realtemp\Realtemplog.txt | awk "{print $5}"
UserParameter=temp.tempcore2,tail -1 c:\realtemp\Realtemplog.txt | awk "{print $6}"
UserParameter=temp.tempcore3,tail -1 c:\realtemp\Realtemplog.txt | awk "{print $7}"

restart the agent

also you need to create items into zabbix console like

description temp_core0
type zabbix agent
key temp.tempcore0
type of info numeric
data type decimal


and you are done...

hope that this info helps.

ps: the downside is that the log file is growing and you have to delete it manual...

Many Thanks ! But it does not run on my system !! no datas receive by the server !! An idea ?

[maikcat]

can you please post more info about your setup?

what windows are you using?
when you run realtemp do you see cpu temps or not?
did you check the appropriate options?
do you get an output text file?

more to come..

Michael.

Hello ! thanks for answer !
I 've got it realtemplog.txt in the realtemp folder and i insert the following into zabbix-agentd.conf client file :
UserParameter=temp.tempcore0,tail -1 c:\realtemp\Realtemplog.txt | awk "{print $4}"

i download tail.exe and awk.exe in the Realtemp folder. The agend is connected to the server, but no data can be read on zabbix. Ping is ok.
I created the item on zabbix as you mentioned, with the lines into.

however, if i put the line ' tail -1 c:\realtemp\Realtemplog.txt | awk "{print $4}" on a dos windows command, i see the temperature, for example '49'
The instruction is ok.

An idea ?

if you cd \ first , is it also working?

can you try please copy the awk and tail command to c:\windows\system32 directory?

silly question,
other zabbix based parameters work?

Hello,

if i cd \ first , is it also working ! yes !

the awk.exe and tail.exe files are only into the Realtemp folder, not to c:\windows\system32 directory

The other zabbix based parameters work well.

[maikcat]

did you created the appropriate item for your client?

values used
=========

description temp_core0
type zabbix agent
key temp.tempcore0
type of info numeric
data type decimal

ps: please copy both awk & tail to your windows\system32 folder just to
verify that they are inside exec path..

[maikcat]

also

do you see anything interesting on your clients log file?

Michael.

wonderful! thank you very much ! it works!
HOWEVER, is the item display the last temperature of the cpu or the first line of the file realtemplog.txt?
have you find how to delete the file Realtemplog.txt real after a while or at startup of Client ?
have you made an item for the temperature of hard drives?

[maikcat]

>wonderful! thank you very much ! it works!

nice to hear that,
im glad that someone used my howto..

>HOWEVER, is the item display the last temperature of the cpu or the first line of the file realtemplog.txt?

the tail command catches the LAST entry...
so you get temps in (almost) realtime

>have you find how to delete the file Realtemplog.txt real after a while or at startup of Client ?

when you restart realtemp it overwrites the file..

>have you made an item for the temperature of hard drives?

real temp AFAIK shows cpu temp only...

if you can find a similar tool (freeware and can log values to file)
let me know!!

cheers,

Michael.

ok thank you very much, I'll get that and I would tell you if I find it

best regards

Solution without gui apps

Download OpenHardwareMonitorReport.zip from https://code.google.com/p/open-hardw.../detail?id=230. Add cputemp[0], cputemp[1], ... Zabbix agent type item to Windows template. Add to the zabbix_agentd.conf:

UserParameter=cputemp[*],C:\OpenHardwareMonitor\OpenHardwareMonitorReport. exe|grep ^$1/temperature/0|grep :|gawk "{print $$7}"

Hi all, resurrecting this old post. I tried all the things said here but whithout luck. When i check the item, it says 'not supported'. The description is: "Received value ['grep' not is recognized as an internal or external command, program or operational file batch] is not suitable". Any idea?
Thanks,

Well, some people soo crazy about Unix, that they are installing Unix tools on Windows machine.

But! By default, no any Windows machine has "grep" utility.

This is my configuration:

[B]zabbix_agentd.win.conf[/B]
UserParameter=cpu_temp,C:\ohmw\cpu-temp.bat
UserParameter=system_temp,C:\ohmw\system-temp.bat

[B]system-temp.bat[/B]
@echo off
for /F "usebackq tokens=7-10" %%a in (`C:\ohmw\OpenHardwareMonitorReport.exe`) do echo %%b %%c %%d| findstr .*lpc.*\/temperature\/0 >nul && set systemtemper=%%a
echo %systemtemper%

[B]cpu-temp.bat[/B]
@echo off
for /F "usebackq tokens=7-10" %%a in (`C:\ohmw\OpenHardwareMonitorReport.exe`) do echo %%b %%c %%d| findstr .*lpc.*\/temperature\/0>nul && set temper=%%a
@echo %temper%

[B]Item configuration:[/B]
Name: CPU Temperature
Key: cpu_temp
Type of information: Numeric(float)
Units: °C

PS sometime my bat-files doesn't work properly. They are dropping "@echo off" instead of real temperature. I don't care.

Thanks for reply! Which version of Zabbix you are using? Now, i´m getting "Not supported by Zabbix Agent". Mine is 2.2.5.
Thanks!
