Plugin apcupsd

Post by rvk »

I am having trouble with the apcupsd Plugin.

I have 4 UPSes that i want to monitor via APCUPSD, not snmp

Starting off with version 1.1 the stats for the devices will never populate, as if the’re never being polled
I think this might have to do with the poller being limited to run on those upses that already have ONLINE or ONLINE SLAVE set.

Now I'm not sure how exactly this works, but afaict, we cannot know the online status if we’ve never polled the device.

Starting off with version 1.0 i will at least get some values, but miss some others, like Load Percentage, and Model for example for one of the UPSes.


I kindly request some help figuring out what i'm doing wrong.

Bonus: I'm getting some Warnings, when running the poller manually:
10:16:55 DEBUG: WARNING: Column LOADAPNT is unknown with value 0.0
10:16:55 DEBUG: WARNING: Column OUTCURNT is unknown with value 448.41 Amps
10:16:55 DEBUG: WARNING: Column BATTDATE : is unknown with value
10:16:55 DEBUG: WARNING: Column NOMAPNT is unknown with value 0 VA

Yea, I screwed up the collector and fixed it a few weeks ago.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
