man snmp-ups (Administration système) - MultiMIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipment

NAME

snmpups - MultiMIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipment

NOTE

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

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

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

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.

REQUIREMENTS

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

EXPERIMENTAL 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 !

INSTALLATION

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

IMPLEMENTATION

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
