[Xymon] monitoring UPS

[John D. Alexander]

All,

The scripts that Bill Arlofski created were easily modified to do the trick.  The challenge was tweaking the RRD part to get it to work.  RRD seems to be really really finicky.

Right now they are launched via tasks.cfg, but I'm working on combining all the files into one.   The next major change will be to modify the interval.  RRD is the big challenge for that.  UPS really should be polled more than every 5 minutes.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

John Alexander

Hi John,

I found a BB4 script called "apcsnmp.pl" - http://communities.quest.com/docs/DOC-5576

It didn't take much tweaking to get it to report various conditions...

Hosts file:
xx.xx.xx.xx ups-host-name  # volt apcload charge temp replace stest onbattery

This might do what you want?

Regards,

Carl
