Noob's APC Smart UPS device template

Post by tarre »

Here comes my noob template for our "APC Smart UPS".

It includes graphs for:
- Basic Battery Status (Normal Load, Overloaded, Unknown)
- Basic Status (lot of boolean info)
- Battery Capacity (%)
- Battery Runtime Remaining (minutes)
- Battery Temperature (ºC)
- Output Current (Amp)
- Output Load (%)
- Output Voltage (Volt)
- Phase Input Current
- Phase Input Voltage

These are my first templates, so any feedback will be wellcome.
There's a plan to implement a better script (add cache to not repeat SNMP queries, parameter to fetch subset of data and avoid output limits, and so simplify Data Input / Source / mappings). Thanks to Osiris for the ideas.

And thanks to Cacti developers and maintainers!!

Here's a tip... it's worth including the script with the template then it's just one download for the user. Also include a readme with some basic instructions that explain how to import the template and where to copy the script. If you really feel like it, you should also include a change log so people know what version of the template they have downloaded.
