Peter,

The ones I used were from APC and are under the product line of Metered Rack PDU, u can find them on the apc website. Here are a few product numbers from that line(APC7800,801,802) they all have web, snmp (u can graph with MRTG, or whatever), Telnet access, etc.. they start at about 300USD from what I've seen.

HTH

Hi,

I have never done it directly of a servers PSU, however I am sure it can be done via SNMP or on a lower level via a management interface(iLO, B/RSA, etc..).

However I have done it from a good APC PDU that had SNMP monitoring for all kinds of  power aspects.

I am also looking for a way to measure other devices than computers and I want to collect this information to the centos server. But I guess it doesn't matter what kind of device I connect to the PDU, it still can measure its power consumption and report it somehow?

Can you recommend any cheap model? I was aware of these PDU's existing, but I haven't really considered them as they probably are quite expensive as they do also many other things (monitor the load of the server etc)...
