APC Environment Templates.

[clustersnarf]

I tracked down the OID for the APC Environmental Sensors and started creating a set of templates for it.

This was made with 0.8.6.c. I have attached a zip file with the following templates in it.

cacti_data_template_apctemp.xml
cacti_graph_template_apc_temperature_sensor_degrees_c.xml
cacti_graph_template_apc_temperature_sensor_degrees_f.xml
cacti_host_template_apc_sensor.xml

The Degrees F uses a custom CDEF that does the following:
cdef=CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,1.8,*,32,+

Have fun. I should update soon with the Humidity graphing.

I have updated the templates with Degrees F and Degrees C. There is also a new Humidity graph along with this.


I have also found out the sensors have 2 ports on them, I have only written this for port 1. I will probably add port 2 in the future.

Worked great for me. Thanks!

Just to clarify, this is for the environmental sensor stand alone products, correct? Not the Network Management card with Environmental sensor smartslot card (ie, number AP9618 or AP9619).

I couldn't get it to work with those, so APC must be using different codes for those devices. If anyone does have a template for those sensors...

BTW, the SU5000 templates work for my SU3000 with the 9619 card; I just don't get my environmental data out of it.


EDIT: Got a basic graph working with the Generic SNMP OID graph template. Just for reference, the OID for the temp sensor is:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.2.3.2.1.4.1
and the humidity sensor (don't have one) appears to be:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.2.3.2.1.6.1

Hi,

I've installed this template to watch our APC Symmetra devices. They have external sensors that show within the UPS's web console that the temp is 75.25. THe graphs return 32 degrees F, which converted is 0 celsius.

anyone know what i might need to change?


a lesser issue is one of the two devices can sense humidity and that does not plot on the graph either.


thanks!

I would bet that you need to do what I did, with the separate OIDs. Try doing an snmpwalk on your UPSes to verify my OIDs--I've only got one sensor per UPS. (ok, fine, one sensor total, but...)

The environment sensor referenced in the root of this thread is (I believe) APC's standalone environment sensor suite.

ok, just entered the correct numbers you posted above and it returns:

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.318.1.1.10.2.3.2.1.6.1 - INTEGER: -1

edit:

i jsut changed the existing OID to .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.2.3.2.1.6.1

will have to wait a few to see if it takes. should that be it?

further edit:

here's what the graph is doing. It definately isn't graphing the temps correctly, the device's displayed temp is 75-77 average at all times, weird.

Hi
I installed APC template on linux box to monitor APC device(Environment Monitoring Unit). Everything is OK but I can't see correct graph. I secusefully create two graphs(degrees C and degress F) but the grapth with degress C is incorrect. Please,look at pics below.

Thanks

[mek1]

Did you have to make any configuration changes to get the graphs to start displaying correct temperatures? What model APC do you have? thanks

Hi

in this graph templates, the 2 values are AREA. This means that if humidity > temperature, you won't see the temperature.

A solution would be to use an AREA an a STACK, so that you'll always see the 2 values.

From what I can see, you used the humidity OID... which would probably give you incorrect temperatures!

Try .4.1 instead of .6.1. I don't know what humidity graphs look like; all I have is the temp sensor. It's an APC SU3000 with the AP9619 card.

Hi
I'm not exactly understand, what have I do to make temperature graph visible?
The most simple way is to change the grapth order(to make the humidity<temperature). But I don't know how can I do this?
I'm just beginer cacti user

Hi all - I hope you cacti experts are still looking at this thread as I need help please I'm a Cacti new user?

I used the xml plugins above but they're not graphing any temperature data (My sensor doesn't do humidity so not bothered about that). So I used a SNMP - Generic OID Template with .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.2.3.2.1.4.1

This seems to be graphing accurately the temp data but I'd like to show it go red when it reaches a certain value. Is this easy to do and if somebody wouldn't mind explaining how to do this then I'd be very grateful for your time?

hi all,

I'm a Cacti new user too. i have installed the plugin. i have the graph but no informations into.

Has Anyone got this working for a
Smart-Ups 3000XLM with Network Management Card with Temp/Humid sensor?
