You can also use the shownode metrics sensors command to display environmental data. See
“Displaying System Sensors from the Command Line” (page 72) for more information.
Depending on the platform, there may be tools that allow you to collect information specific to the platform.
Typically, this same information is collected and available in the HP XC database from the shownode
metrics sensors command. For example, systems that support the iLO management interface include
the hpasm package. You can use the /sbin/hplog utility to display the following environment data:
• Thermal sensor data
• Fan data
• Power data
In addition, most hpasm errors are logged to the syslog system logger. For more information, see hpasm(4)
and hplog(8).
Displaying System Statistics
The HP XC System Software provides two methods for displaying system statistics: by issuing commands
from a host's command line or using the Nagios Web-based interface.
Displaying System Sensors from the Command Line
The shownode metrics sensors command displays the system sensors, their value, and a brief
description, with a date and time stamp. Sensor data includes the position of switches and jumpers,
temperature data, fan speeds, and so on.
The following example shows sensor data for node n9; some results are truncated horizontally to fit on the
page.

date time |n9 |Processor 0 Temp |53 |deg C<= lower non-criti...
date time |n9 |Processor 1 Temp |53 |deg C<= lower non-criti...
Individual sensors are displayed only when a sensor is out of range. Otherwise a sensor count is displayed
as shown in the following example. The output is truncated horizontally to fit on the page.
