snmp-ups(8)

NAME
snmp-ups - Multi-MIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipment

NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the snmp-ups driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The new snmp-ups 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 three-phase power reporting.

REQUIREMENTS
You will need to install the Net-SNMP package from http://www.net-snmp.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
