At the now defunct redundant.com we used baytech strips with the ds-3 (not the circuit) modules to snmp enable the strips. We were able to control each port, and monitor load on each port.
I had moderate success with this suggestion. Their technical support said the only product they had that does this is the 4 outlet RPC5 or RPC6 (ethernet version vs serial version). Unfortunately, it costs $644 each (lowest price I've found so far) and accomplishes it's individual monitoring by replicating power in and power out plus an ethernet port 4 times. Still, if it's the only one out there I guess they win (although at $150 per outlet, ouch, that goes over my $4000 budget for this). http://www.baytech.net/products/prodlist.php?show=RPC5 Mike.

There have been suggestions of good SNMP monitorable power strips here before, however I'm looking for a power strip with individually monitorable outlet current (via SNMP).
I've searched google for quite a while and can't seem to separate out such a beast from all the remote power management strips that just monitor aggregate usage.
I have an application where I need to record the variation in power consumption for individual devices over time. I need to monitor about 30 devices in 4 cabinets (8 devices per cabinet or so) in and have a budget of $4000. I'd like to be able to see current in milliamps or 10 milliamp increments. I'm looking for an off the shelf device.
If anybody can help me I'd certainly appreciate it.
