Measuring Power Usage on a Single Socket?

[d2mini]

I want to see how much power is being used or see how many times per day and for how long the socket is switched on for my chiller.
I am thinking I would like to install some fans and see if there is a significant difference in chiller usage before and after.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

No, i don't think there is an really easy way to do this.
The power usage is just displayed and not logged in any way as far as i know.
You could perhaps setup some scripts on a server in your network that queries the
current power usage and log it yourself on the server.

darn! That's all way above my capabilities. haha
I thought I've seen the Apex guys do something similar but maybe I was hallucinating.
