SpeedFan HTTP Agent - Server Temperature Monitoring over the Network

Download SpeedFanHTTPAgent. SpeedFanHTTPAgent.exe is freely distributable in public and private projects, free, open source and/or commercial as well.

If you need something to monitor the output of SpeedFan or the SpeedFan HTTP Agent, our Server Temperature monitor can do it!

The SpeedFan HTTP agent exports and allows you to access SpeedFan's temperature data from across the network via a simple HTTP request. The following page is shown when you download and run SpeedFanHTTPAgent.exe

SpeedFan HTTP Agent

SpeedFanHTTPAgent retrieves data from SpeedFan, a great utility by Alfredo Milani Comparetti that reports PC temperature, fan speed, voltages and hard disk health. Retrieved temperature, fan and voltage data is made accessible via a simple HTTP request. (Hard disk health data is not available from SpeedFanHTTPAgent as it's not published by SpeedFan)

Usage:

Download SpeedFan and install it.
You do not need to start SpeedFan -- SpeedFanHTTPAgent will take care of that as soon as it receives a request for temperature data
Copy SpeedFanHTTPAgent.exe to the same folder that SpeedFan.exe is in.
Run SpeedFanHTTPAgent.exe to configure the HTTP port that will be used.
(optional) If you want SpeedFanHTTPAgent to run as a service, run SpeedFanHTTPAgent.exe -i to register it.
Point a browser at http://{machine name}:{configured port} to retrieve the data.
