Graph Critical Environmental Conditions
The IPDU-S2 Secure Remote Power Reboot Switch graphs data from its sensors using MRTG.
ENVIROMUX® Secure Remote Power Reboot Switch Graph Critical Environment Conditions with MRTG
IPDU-S2 (Front and Back)
Monitoring environmental conditions around servers, work stations or data centers helps prevent the damages caused to valuable equipment by environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, water leakage etc.
The Network Technologies Inc IPDU-S2 Secure Remote Power Reboot Switch monitors environmental conditions and notifies the administrator or staff via email, SNMP traps, web-page alerts etc. if a sensor goes out of range of a pre-configured limit.
Graphing using MRTG (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) provides a visual representation of the critical environmental conditions being monitored. MRTG generates HTML pages containing regularly updated PNG images providing graphical trending of time-series data. The graphs display daily, weekly, monthly and yearly statistics of the environmental conditions being monitored.
