The Supermicro SuperDoctor 5 is a hardware monitoring program that functions in a
command-line or web-based interface in Windows and Linux operating systems. The program
monitors system health information, such as CPU temperature, system voltages, system
power consumption, and fan speed, and provides alerts via email or the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
SuperDoctor 5 comes in local and remote management versions and can be used with
Nagios to maximize your system monitoring needs. With the SuperDoctor 5 Management
Server (SSM Server), you can remotely control the power status and reset chassis intrusion
for multiple systems with SuperDoctor 5 or IPMI. SD5 Management Server monitors HTTP,
FTP, and SMTP services to optimize the efficiency of your operation.
