Better monitoring of Windows machines
Of course, "better" is a relative term. For my specific use case, I'm using Telegraf, along with all the input plug-ins I can think of to scrape data from Windows.
However, although I'm getting in-depth information about my wife's NVidia GPU, I'm getting no information about CPU temperatures, voltages, power draw, or anything else that the motherboard might be capable of reporting.
After a quick search for something similar to lm-sensors for Windows, I found Open Hardware Monitor: https://openhardwaremonitor.org/
It has a user interface. This isn't what I want, as I have InfluxDB visualizations.
So I tighten my search to include InfluxDB, and I find OhmGraphite: https://github.com/nickbabcock/OhmGraphite
Looking through the documentation, it seems that it'll write to InfluxDB.
So I install it, change the config file to point to my Telegraf gateway instance, and I start it.
What do you know? That's handy!
