How do I monitor the CPU temperature in an ES40 running OpenVMS 7.3-1?

Hi:

This topic has been discussed in the past in c.o.v. A very clever
little command procedure was posted which uses
f$getsyi("temperature_vector") to get the temperature readings out of
an AlphaServer running VMS.

Here is what I can see on our ES40:

-------------------------------------------
    ES40 CPU Temperature Monitor
-------------------------------------------
Vector: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF14151615161818
CPU 0 Temperature 75
CPU 1 Temperature 75
CPU 2 Temperature 71
CPU 3 Temperature 69
CPU 4 Temperature 71
CPU 5 Temperature 69
CPU 6 Temperature 68

>From other posts, I believe that the seven temperature readings are
from three sensors somewhere in the system (see Hoff's post on this
topic) and then each of our four CPUs.

Soooooo, I can monitor the system temperature via DCL.

Now I would like to monitor the temperature with a piece of software
that I can run on the ES40 that speaks SNMP so I can collect the temps
and graph them in something like cricket
(http://cricket.sourceforge.net/). (I already have cricket running on
a nearby Proliant server running RedHat).

The older posts that I found in c.o.v. say that monitoring via SNMP is
possible via a product called ServerWorks. I think that software has
been retired. Is there a replacement for ServerWorks on VMS? Maybe
an Insight Manager agent for VMS or something along those lines?

Many thanks,
