Hi,

I am trying to monitor the switch cpu temp to trigger a usb fan to come on when it gets too hot, what OID should I use via SNMP?

Cheers!

Hi @clarkyjp,

XMG1915-18EP does not support an O.I.D. for cpu temp. I have helped you create an idea post for this O.I.D.

Anyone who like this idea, please feel free to leave your comment or give it a vote.

Hi,

For anyone interested in my quest to control a 5v usb Noctua fan to add some extra cooling to my switch, I have worked around the lack of SNMP data to get it working.

I rolled my sleeves up and used Python scripting. I am accessing the switch via SSH to pull the cpu temp data and then using this to switch on/off a Sonoff usb WiFi controlled switch - working perfectly, if the cpu temp goes above 60 degrees the fan turns on, otherwise the fan stays off and also turns off when temps go below 60 degrees.

SNMP would have been easier but there were multiple ways to solve this issue as it turns out!

Cheers.
