Greetings,
Supermon was developed for clustering, but really is fairly general purpose (I'm looking into using it on a variety of servers).
It consists of a few parts. Supermon itself and mon are daemons. mon gathers data from the kernel and passes it up to supermon. supermon simply aggregates the data and serves it to various clients.
The other two parts are supermon_proc and a sensor module. The sensor module just presents the sensor data in /proc/sys/supermon_sensors in the form of an S expression (a Lisp like expression, easily parsable and human readable as well).
G'day, sjames

Supermon is described as 'high-speed cluster monitoring' thing. What if I don't run any clusters? Just a standalone embedded device? The word 'cluster' scares me a little. :) Is supermon small enough to fit in my 16Mb Linux configuration instead of lm_sensors? I think I don't need anything 'high-speed'. I just want to check temperature, fan and voltage parameters from time to time.
