Nagios + APC UPSsssss

[Michael S. Kazmier]

I am sorry Leonard, I thought you meant you have your UPS connected to the
console or aux port on you cisco switch, which you were monitoring through
there.  IE: A method to save / avoid the Ethernet modules for the UPS.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike, 
I use MRTG.  You can pretty much graph anything that has an SNMP OID.
I get Battery Replacement Indicator, tells me whether or not a battery needs
replaced.  Battery Status, last reason it transfered to battery, output
status,
battery temperature, battery capacity, line voltage, runtime remaining and 
load on the ups.  I can't get messages from MRTG about the UPS's, but it 
really isn't necessary since the UPS's send e-mail when something goes
wrong.
But several times, I have been able to replace a battery or get the
electrical 
lines fixed because of the graphs.

This is assuming you have the APC Management card installed in, or attached
to,
the UPS.  

You can take a look at it here

Can you tell me how you monitor the UPS's connected to your switches?  That
seems ingenious but I have never heard of doing that before.

Thanks,

Mike
