APC Environment Templates.

I thought I'd post my recently tidied/formulated APC templates. We use them on a Symmetra UPS, and they graph:

Templates were exported from a Cacti 0.8.7b installation.

* Battery Capacity
* Voltages (In/Out)
* UPS Load
* Internal (Battery) Temperature
* Room temperature
* Room humidity

The 2 room graphs utilise "Probe 1" on (I believe) an addin environment sensing card. Retrieved by SNMP as:

mUpsEnvironAmbientTemperature 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.1
mUpsEnvironRelativeHumidity 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.2

This is my first template post, so hopefully it goes OK...

John.

Hello all,

I have about 12 AP9340 environmental monitor units, and i can't seem to get these templates to graph them... I was able to get a quick blip, but it came in Celsius, then it stopped graphin.

I would like to get these to graph correctly in Fahrenheit.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Any help would be great!

use a CDEF in your graph template that does the conversion.

Well, the CDEF won't work when I can't get it to graph. All searches on this forum (and on google) for the OID returns ones that don't work.

I have a call into an APC tech to get back to me.

have you tried doing a snmpwalk on the device, and finding the OID's directly?

yeah i have done an snmpwalk, me and a buddy haven't been able to figure it out. I work with APC on a lot of projects, so I've emailed them for some help. We'll see what they say I suppose.

I've posted some templates for AP9340, find 'em at http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=30362. You'll get graphs for both temp (in F) and humidity.

If you're unable to get anything to graph, are you getting a '0's' or "nan"? If "nan", try this (if you're using linux) "snmpget -c [communitystring] [host] sysDescr.0"

"snmpget -c [communitystring] -v 2c [host] sysDescr.0"

if those fail, try this:

"snmpget -c [communitystring] -v 1 [host] sysDescr.0"

if none of 'em work, you've likely got a problem with something like your community string (perhaps it's inaccurate), network connectivity, an access list on the AP9340, or some such.

if only the last works, you'll need to specify snmp v1 OR much better, upgrade the firmware on your AP9340's as mine respond to snmp v2 queries...using v3.5.6 of APC firmware.
