CPUTemp (plug-in)

This is a very nice extension for Big Brother. It's a .vbs script that uses WMI to monitor CPU temperature on Windows machines and it handles multi processor machines quite nicely - see image below.



To use this extension: (Windows only and requires WMI)

1. Download CPUTemp.vbs from the Big Brother user community.

2. Save the script in the BBClient ext directory (DEFAULT: C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\ext).

3. Add the script to the BBClient configuration editor (GUI), to do this:

3a. Launch the BBClient configuration editor. (Start -> Programs -> Quest Software -> Big Brother -> Client -> Configure) 3b. Click the "Save Log Location" button in the middle of the GUI. When the dialog in the image below opens up, navigate to the BBClient\logs directory and click OK. 3c. Click the "Add External" button and navigate to the BBNT\ext directory (where you saved the script) and select the CPUTemp.vbs script. 3d. After selecting the script, click the "Open" button. 3e. Then Click the "Save", "Stop" and Start buttons on the configuration editor.

That's it, shortly after performing the above you'll see a new column on the BBDISPLAY for the cpu temp test. You can drill down into that test status icon and see the temperature of your CPUs...
