Remotely monitor computer hardware?

[Zim]

I'm looking for software that allows me to remotely monitor the hardware on my HTPC (temps, voltages, SMART status, etc). My Windows 7 HTPC is always in one of two states: sleeping, or running Windows Media Center, so some form of remote desktop is not an option. Ideally, the software should run as a service, or a background task, and publish it's measurments to clients or to a webpage.

Does such a thing exist... at a reasonable price?

AIDA64 has a shared memory feature so writing your own using its readings would probably be fairly easy if you're a programmer. I am not aware of a preexisting application but that's not to say it doesn't exist.

Actually the Business Edition has a built-in remote monitoring/control feature but I don't know much about it.

one lame way would be to have your software (eg HWMonitor, RealTemp) running on the desktop, have some program that takes a screenshot of the screen every interval and upload to a server(or save to a dropbox folder) etc

but this lame way won't require you to host a server(and introduce security issues)

or if your program(HWMonitor) allows you to save the data to a file, get a keyboard macro program/script to save the data to a dropbox folder 😀

Core Temp can write to a log. Share the log file. tail -f
