OhmGraphite

OhmGraphite takes the hard work of extracting hardware sensors from Open Hard Monitor (technically LibreHardwareMonitor for most up to date hardware) and exports the data in a graphite compatible format. If you're missing Windows GPU, temperature, or power metrics in Grafana or (or other graphite UI), this tool is for you!

OhmGraphite functions as a console app or a Windows service that periodically polls the hardware.

Getting Started

• Create a directory that will home base for OhmGraphite (I use C:\Apps\OhmGraphite).
• Download the latest zip and extract to our directory

• Update app configuration (located at OhmGraphite.exe.config) to include the host and port of graphite and the hardware polling interval. This config can be updated, but a restart of the app is needed for affect

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  <configuration>
  <appSettings>
  <add key="host" value="localhost" />
  <add key="port" value="2003" />
  <add key="interval" value="5" />
  </appSettings>
  </configuration>
  

• The app can be ran interactively by simply executing OhmGraphite.exe

• To install the app .\OhmGraphite.exe install. The command will install OhmGraphite as a Windows service (so you can manage it with your favorite powershell commands or services.msc)

• To start the app after installation: .\OhmGraphite.exe start or your favorite Windows service management tool
