How to monitor a wall outlet with nagios
 

Hello there,

Is there a way to monitor a wall outlet with nagios.

I want to check if we got some power out of a wall outlet.
This is to check whether we are running on the electricity network or on our diesel power generator.
The wall outlet is connected only to the electricity network, so if there is no more power coming out of the outlet that mean that we are running on the diesel power generator.

Any DIY solution would be fine.

run a spare router / managed switch / AP / noddy device with an IP on it and ping that device?

Hehe,

Thanks alot. I didn't though about this.
