snmpups - MultiMIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipment

This man page only documents the hardwarespecific features of the snmpups driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

The new snmpups driver supports a wide range of devices by loading various MIBS:

ietf:

UPS that is RFC 1628 (UPS MIB) compliant, ie MGE UPS SYSTEMS, Liebert, perhaps others (default)

mge:

MGE UPS SYSTEMS devices with SNMP cards (ref 66062, 66045, 66074 and 66244)

apcc:

APC AP9606 APC Web/SNMP management card, perhaps others

netvision:

Socomec Sicon UPS with Netvision Web/SNMP management card/external box

pw:

Powerware devices with ConnectUPS SNMP cards

This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5):

mibs=name

Set MIB compliance (default=ietf, allowed mge,apcc,netvision,pw)

community=name

Set community name (default = public). Note that you require a RW community name to perform UPS settings (as for a powerdown).

snmp_version=version

Set SNMP version (default = v1, the other allowed value is v2c)

pollfreq=value

Set polling frequency in seconds, to reduce network flow (default=30)

notransferoids

Disable the monitoring of the low and high voltage transfer OIDs in the hardware. This will remove input.transfer.low and input.transfer.high from the list of variables. This should only be used on APCC Symmetra equipment which has strangeness in the threephase power reporting.

You will need to install the NetSNMP package from http://www.netsnmp.org/ before building this driver.

This driver has been tagged experimental, even if it has been reported to be stable. Thus it is not suitable for production systems and it is not built by default. This is mainly due to the fact that there is still no proper upsdrv_shutdown() function implemented !

This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using "configure --with-drivers=snmp-ups" before calling make.

The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:

	[snmp]
		driver = snmp-ups
		port = snmp-ups.example.com
		community = public
		snmp_version = v1
		mibs = ietf
		pollfreq = 15
