I am on the hunt for some kind of device that I can hookup to a few of my servers, and then see at a glance what the system load is at that moment.
It could be as simple as 4-5 LED's that light as the load gets higher.
I am a developer, so I am not opposed to using a microcontroller if anyone can point me at any that have good Linux support (for programming them as well).
I have a Dell XPS as my "server" which has a rather annoying multi-color LED in the front, I would probably just want to figure out how to "drive" that one as it has a perfect array of colors to tell me load.
I have tried the SMBios dellLEDctl app, but it tells me that it has no support on this system.
This leads me to believe I am going to need some other kind of controller to plug in via serial, or usb.
Any Ideas?
