Hello, I am interested in finding out how people monitor their UPSes. I have tried a couple of plugins and have had mixed results. We have a large number of APC Smart UPS models 750 and 2200. Most of those have an external temperature sensor plugged into its network card as well as a door contact (t...

Thank you for all your help on this. Somehow, magically, the service appeared a while later. I am not sure why or what caused it to happen. I am wondering if the fact that this is a virtual image has anything to do with it. At one point, the machine hosting that image of Nagios did reboot, so maybe ...

gormank has it right, here's some additional info (double check your EXEC lines in /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf): This is the general flow of how SNMP traps work: Device -> XI Server -> snmptrapd -> snmptt -> Nagios XI Here's how it works in greater detail: 1. The device sends a SNMP trap with say an OID ...

I added a host (a UPS), then defined a service (using the plugin that you pointed me to) and also defined a second service for that host (SNMP Traps) but when I look under Service Status Summary, I can't see those two services. Go to Configure->Core Configuration Manager->Services, and click on you...

Can you find them if you search for them on the service details screen? The are grouped by the config name, so it the config name doesn't match, it will not be grouped with the host. If you cannot find it, go back and edit it and make sure the Active check box is checked, save and apply the config ...

Is this a UPS connected to your XI server, or a remote one on the network? On the network. Nagios XI can see it and ping it and it is currently a monitored host in XI. I'm pretty sure the plugin you're trying is for locally connected UPS that is running an APC agent, this is not the most common met...

First you will need to make sure this works from the command line. Have you tried something like this? /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_apcupsd.sh -h <device IP address> -w <warning threshold> -c <critical threshold> -p <port number> bcharge I am not sure what port needs to be used, but you can run ...

Try running - [ccode] yum install apcupsd -y [/code] I will try that here in a bit Thank you! That installed the missing component in /sbin/ Trying to run the plugin from the command line now always gives me this error: ./check_apcupsd: line 213: [: -lt: unary operator expected Example: (note that ...
