Overtemp warning syntax

Robert_Jewell — Wed, 31 Jul 2002 18:34:51 GMT

I am looking for the syslog message that warns you of a temperature problem. I am assisting in setting up a script that will read syslog and warn of impending errors. It will be doing this by looking for keywords. What I am stumped on is thermal warnings. I cannot seem to find any examples anywhere.
I believe that the word "temperature" will suffice, but I want to be sure. I dont really have the means to test this on a system.
The OS will be 11.x.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bob,

You want to look for:

1) OVERTEMP_CRIT (The temp is moving out of range)
2) OVERTEMP_EMERG (The temp is way out & system shutdown or damage will occur)

There's also a way to test this also...I'll look & if found point you to it.

HTH,
Jeff

Hello,

I believe if you use overtemp in your search, you will be fine.

hi,

I think a search of "OVERTEMP" will be good to go. I would defenitely more concerned about the cause of overtemparature if see this message at the syslog.

Hi Bob:

Again, take a look at this document too (TKB #KBRC00010118). This describes about the mail function:

Thanks for pointing that document out. While that method will not be used for what I am doing, I may set something up for the machines I am directly responsible for.

Hi again Bob

I just remembered this thread about monitoring messages in syslog which might be usefull to you. Theres a script on there that I posted and which i know use to monitor for the TEMP messages as well as the POWERFAILED disk messages, rather than rely on envd.

Just add the words to the egrep statement.

Doh!

There I go again forgetting that not all of you Earthlings are telepathic.
