Monitoramento de temperatura e umidade de data center utilizando o arduino e o sistema ZABBIX

Abstract

Information Security and high availability has been a major challenge for companies around the world, whether small, medium or large. Everyone is concerned about keeping their data safe and always available. One of the Information Security areas that is concerned with high availability is the data center cooling or air conditioning area. No less important than other security areas, it should bother to maintain the ideal temperature for servers always constant. Therefore, monitoring this environment is paramount for proper operation. There are many tools on the market, however, with a very high cost, which makes it difficult to implement in small and medium enterprises. With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, it is realized that it is possible to implement a range of sensors on Internet-connected devices, sensors that can collect accurate information and, in a way that is necessary, send this information. As a low-cost solution, this work implements an Arduino-based sensor capable of monitoring the temperature and humidity of a Data Center and sending this data to the Zabbix monitoring system, enabling proactive monitoring of the entire Data Center environment, including from the screen of a cell phone.
