    Monitoring specifically the events for reboots and shutdowns? Sure, we track those with NT event monitors. I dont have the NT event metrics on hand but just view the recorded events within the microsoft event viewer to get the number, event, description, etc. If you are tracking availability its easier to leverage monitor solution heartbeats, ICMP ping responses through agentless, or the peformance counter uptime metric.

    Temperature reading is handled through WMI calls which of course monitor solution supports. This is more vendor dependent and requires a bit of testing on your part to get the appropriate data "massaged", however I can share what WMI classes we use in our Dell HP datacenter.

    Dell:

    \root\CIMv2\Dell\Cim_NumericSensor

    HP:

    \root\HPQ\CIM_NumericSensor
    \root\HPQ\WinNumericSensor
    \root\WM\TempSensorInfo

    This class may also provided the info you are looking for root\WMI\MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature

    Sorry I havent seen IBM servers in years. They may have that information exposed through native WMI classes or you may need to install additional management agents - perhaps something from IBM director.

    I suggest trying to harvest that information through simple means to see if its even present - WMI browsers, WMIC commands, etc. Once you know you found the right class then you can create the metric and appropriate thershold within monitor solution.

    If you need help "formatting" the metric for monitor solution, drop us a line in the forum. Otherwise, maybe someone else can tell you what specific WMI class they used for IBM servers.
