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 nutups‐
drv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The snmp‐ups driver automatically detects and 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 and MGE Office Protection 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/exter‐
nal box
pw: Powerware devices with ConnectUPS SNMP cards
aphel_genesisII:
Eaton Powerware ePDU Monitored
aphel_revelation:
Eaton Powerware ePDU Managed
raritan:
Various Raritan PDUs
baytech:
Various BayTech PDUs
cpqpower:
HP/Compaq AF401A management card, perhaps others
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the
ups.conf(5):
mibs=name
Set MIB compliance (default=auto, allowed entries: refer to the
above SUPPORTED HARDWARE). With auto the driver will try a
select set of objets until it finds one that the device responds
to.
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.
LIMITATION
Shutdown
This driver does not provide a proper upsdrv_shutdown() function. There
probably never will be one, since at the time this script should run
(near the end of the system halt script), there will be no network
capabilities anymore. Probably the only way to shutdown an SNMP UPS is
by sending it a shutdown with delay command through upscmd(8) and hope
for the best that the system will have finished shutting down before
the power is cut.
INSTALLATION
This driver is only built if the Net SNMP development files are present
on the system. You can also force it to be built by using "configure
--with-snmp=yes" 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
