[Devmon-devel] Monitoring a UPS

[Neil S. <Nei...@ex...>]

Hi all,

 

This may be a bit of a Newbie question but I hope someone can help.

 

I've recently configured a set of templates for monitoring 2 UPS devices
from Xymon using devmon.

 

I've ended up using the standard UPS mib (OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.33) and the
Powerware xUPS mib (OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1) as neither of them gives me
everything I want on these particular devices.

 

The problem I'm having is in monitoring alarms in the msgs section.

 

In my oids file I have the following,

 

upsAlarmsPresent        : .1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.6.1.0 : leaf

xupsAlarmDescr   : .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.7.2.1.2    : branch

xupsAlarmTime    : .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.7.2.1.3    : branch

 

You can see the mix of OIDs here.

 

In my messages file I have this,

 

UPS Alarms ({upsAlarmsPresent.color}{upsAlarmsPresent} alarms)

{upsAlarmsPresent.errors}

 

Last Alarm              : {xupsAlarmDescr}

Alarm Time              : {xupsAlarmTime}

 

This is working fine for the UPS Alarms bit but not for the Last Alarm
or Alarm Time. 

 

If I do an snmpget on the xupsAlarmDescr OID I get the following data,

 

enterprises.534.1.7.2.1.2.1 = OID: enterprises.534.1.7.5

 

from the xupsAlarmTime I get,

 

enterprises.534.1.7.2.1.3.1 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

 

Where I am struggling is in the Transforms, 

 

I currently have no transforms and the data is showing in xymon as,

 

Last Alarm             : HASH(0xf6a4cf0)
Alarm Time             : HASH(0xf714350)

 

Can anyone help me with a suitable Transform for this?
