Brocade devices generally have two sensors, one for incoming temperature and one for output. I would like to be able to create a custom report that only gives information on the incoming temperature.
Back in the Nortel days (ten+years ago) I had a Top Ten Hottest Network Rooms view. It took the information from the air input temperature sensor on my switches and posted the ten network switches with the hottest incoming temperature. And I've forgotten how to build that report, how to gather that specific info. Researching . . . There are lots of requests for this, several suggestions and answers in Thwack. It's just finding the implementation that works best for me.
Then duplicate it into a second report for the Ten Coldest Network Rooms. I had that in the old days, too, and it was useful for discovering when a heating/cooling system had failed, or a rooftop vent had frozen open, allowing -25F air into the plenum above the office space--wasting loads of heat $$.

Are those temperature sensors have the same OID?
If not you can poll them by OID and not Mib name.
If the sensor name has different name like “in take” or “out take”
you can still filter that and get what you want...
My apologies for this very-late response.
The sensors do not use the same OID--they are multiple / different hardware models and manufacturers.
The sensor names are not consistent across the platforms. Some are "air input", others can be "air intake", "ambient air", "external temp", etc.
I'm still looking for a way to recreate/build a widget displaying Top X Network Rooms by (decreasing) Air Temperature.
Ideas, anyone?
