APCUPSD integration

[geekspeed]

Currently I have over 12 UPSs that I monitor with APCUPSD. I have a shell script that gathers the data and feeds it into cacti (i modified a script found on this board). My question is -- now that I have the data query -- how do I turn that into a graph, or does anyone here have any examples of monitoring UPSs via apcupsd?

can you share your script and more detailed info how you query that program to get data from it...i think once it's in cacti i could get the graphs to work.. just not too familiar with how you get data out of programs like that for APC.

#script that parses output of apcaccess for cacti internal processing:

while(<STDIN>) {
chomp;
if (s/^TIMELEFT[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "time_left: $_\n";
}
if (s/^NOMBATTV[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "nom_batv: $_\n";
}
if (s/^LOADPCT[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "load_pct: $_\n";
}
if (s/^ITEMP[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "int_temp: $_\n";
}
if (s/^BATTV[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "bat_volt: $_\n";
}
if (s/^BCHARGE[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "b_charge: $_\n";
}
if (s/^OUTPUTV[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "out_volt: $_\n";
}
if (s/^LINEFREQ[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+\.*\d+).*/\1/) {
print "line_freq: $_\n";
}
if (s/^TONBATT[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+).*/\1/) {
print "tot_on_bat: $_\n";
}
if (s/^CUMONBATT[ ]*[:][ ]*(\d+).*/\1/) {
print "cum_on_bat: $_\n";
}

}

The last one I grabbed from this forum and it seems to work. For each host I have, (I have 6) I want to monitor certain things (mostly b_charge, int_temp, load_pct, time_left, out_volt, line_freq).
