temperatures, voltages, chassis intrusion, and more) on commerical-grade server
hardware. bsdhwmon(8) is developed with a very different mentality compared to
other softwares:
- Written with stability and production datacenter environments in mind
- Intended for use with server products (Intel, Supermicro, Tyan, and possibly
others)
- Solely uses smb(4), significantly decreasing risks and CPU usage
- Based heavily on documentation provided from the server and H/W monitoring IC
manufacturers
- Full tested on both i386 and amd64 systems, using RELENG_6 and RELENG_7
- Written entirely in C
- Completely standalone; relies on no third-party libraries or tools (autoconf,
etc.)
- Very simple and clean code (heavily commented, well-documented, emits no
warnings)
- Open-source, released under the FreeBSD 2-clause BSD license
