[xymon] New UPS monitor added to Xymonton

[Josh Luthman]

Works very well!  I'm not sure about up-load, though.  It seems like it is
expecting you to use 80% or 90% and below is a bad thing.  For me, this will
not work. I try to minimize load and get battery runtime.

This was quite simple once you get NUT configured.  The SNMP config
documentation was a bit lacking so I will share what mine looks like...

#etc/ups.conf
#this is for APC's snmp use called powernet
[apclocation01]#this can be anything you want, it's for your reference, but
must be unique
driver = snmp-ups
port = 192.168.1.10#changethis
community = public#changethis
snmp_version = v1
mibs = apcc
pollfreq = 60

Also I would suggest using a variable that each of the xymon_nut* ext
scripts can look at, it's a bit annoying to change them all, but here is how
I did it:

#the default destination directory is /usr/local/ups
find . -name "xymon_nut*sh" -exec sed -i
"s,\/usr\/bin\/upsc,\/usr\/local\/ups\/bin\/upsc," '{}' \;
#this is to specify where the NUT server is
find . -name "xymon_nut*sh" -exec sed -i "s,host.example.com,127.0.0.1,"
'{}' \;
#these are your unique names in the statements of ups.conf so it will
contact NUT with bin/upsc apc1 at host.example.com and bin/upsc
apc2 at host.example.com
find . -name "xymon_nut*sh" -exec sed -i "s,apc1000,apc1\ apc2\ apc3," '{}'
\;
