UPS Smart APC templates

[WiredWorm]

Hi,

I'm new to the world of Cacti and I have to say i've been really impressed with it's capabilities so far.

I've managed to get all of the APC templates working with the exception of the one that monitors UPS Temperature.

The data appears to be collected but when the rrdtool generates the graph it must be failing because theres no graph displayed in the UI. I've used the RRDTool to diagnose the problem and it's something to do with the CF setting?

Running the 'rrdtool' command with a CF value of LAST causes the error 'ERROR: the RRD does not contain an RRA matching the chosen CF'. Whilst doing the same command with a CF of AVERAGE works just fine.

Obviously I want it to display the last value and not an average so how do I go about fixing this? Is it something I need to tweak in the data source configuration?

Sorry if this is a n00b question. I'm still learning.

Thanks

Pete

Edit: I think I figured it out. Went into RRAs under Data Sources and added LAST for each of them. I then deleted the data source which had the issue and recreated both the datasource and the graph.

Hello,

I'm trying to import Timi's template into cacti Version 0.8.7e but I'm getting an error:

Error: XML: Hash version does not exist.

Should I upgrade to the newest version to get it operate or there is something else to do?

Regards,
Kacper

[timi]

you should have at least cacti version g to be able to import the template.

[groovee]

Thank You for such quick reply!

I've upgraded to 0.8.7h and it works.

Very nice template!

I tried importing these templates into a 0.8.8 install of Cacti, and got the following error:

Error: XML: Cacti version does not exist.

...and all labels in the templates area are blank.

Are there some tweaks that need to be made to the template for it to work in 0.8.8?..

Thanks,
Richard.

Hello,

I have a AP9619 card and using the XML file that imported without any errors.
However all graphs are being displayed expect the temperature one!!

If I run that from the CLI :

/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c {com} {IP} .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.2.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.318.1.1.1.2.2.2.0 = Gauge32: 22

So that works well.

Cacti Version 0.8.8a
Cacti OS unix
SNMP Version NET-SNMP version: 5.7.2
RRDTool Version RRDTool 1.4.x

What can I do?

[timi]

try to put U in min and max values ...

did you make the graph template ?

enable debug and see waht comes out ...

[NewJoiner]

Just changed the values to U.
Thanks for the tip and now looking to see if the temperature graph is being generated.

UPDATE (No joy still no graph for temps)

I am using the cacti_host_template_apc_smart_ups_14.zip as XML template.

RRDTool Says:

How to fix that ?

See rrd file (that hold the correct values)

[NewJoiner]

Anyone knows how to get it fixed?

[jorgus]

Could fix temperature template?

I have a Smart-UPS RT 7500 XL

[timi]

sorry, I dont have a temp sensor on my upses ...

[NewJoiner]

It looks like the database holds all the correct data but the template is not producing the temp graph somehow.
I hope someone with some more knowledge than me of Cacti / rrd can fix this part. Would be nice to have the temp also in the same scripts...

For now I will try to setup a separate php script to read out the rrd database.

If someone even has the chance to get it fixed that would be great..

[jorgus]

I mean the temperature of the battery, the APC Smart UPS - Battery Temp..

Let's see if I get to have time to research that.

[timi]

if you could give me snmp read access to one of the upsese that has a temp sensor, maybe I could try and fix it ....
