Got a server and wanted to know what the temperature was in my room where it runs
Installed VMware on it and a SIEM as a virtual appliance on top, poll the VMware API every minute to get the reading from the temperature sensor so that I can look at it from my phone's web browser.
Overkill: Quite certainly
Useful: Definitely
