I have been searching for a while for a simple way to monitor nvidia temps (and possibly more) with checkmk nagios.
Found lots of different methods, either way to complicated, not working at all or to hard for me to adapt (I am primarily a windows sys admin, medium skills on linux. Good on powershell, medium to less on everything else)
I am sure there are better, more elegant and simpler ways to achieve what I wanted. This is what I came up with.
The agent actually does detect the core temps by itself, but for some reason this is not being detected on a host rescan.
CheckMK is a free and complete monitoring solution I use professionally and in private.
https://checkmk.com/cms_install_packages.htmlThis script can be put in the checkmk agent local folder /usr/bin/check_mk_agent/local and will be executed by the agent.
Only thing that needs to be adapted is your preferred temp range.
The output is what checkmk requires.
0 normal
1 warning
2 crit
Result looks like this (everything else beside GPU is built in ofc, Miner process is a custom discovery rule)

Please take, copy, improve, whatever...
