Re: {bb} apcsnmp.pl and OIDs

["Mike Dingeldey" <mdingeldey@sbcglobal.net>]

The apcsnmp.pl script was written to use the APC 96xx cards for the APC 
SmartUPS
series and monitor a UPS. It has been tested and does work for the 9617 
cards. So far, I
haven't received any feedback from anyone regarding any other cards that are 
being used.
If anyone is using the script and is on the mailing list, please let me know 
so that I can
include that information in the documentation.

As I indicated in the description on deadcat - testing needs to be 
performed.

The AP9319 is the APC Environmental Monitoring Unit. It is not a UPS, so I 
wouldn't expect
it to work. When I am able to obtain an AP9319, I will see what I can do to 
make the script
work with the unit. The nearest equipment I will have in the short term is 
the AP9619, which
might be a cousin of what you are looking for. I may also be receiving the 
SNMP manageable
APC power strip, so I may include some of that as well.

If you need to get the script to work, the only thing that I could suggest 
is to hack it and
change the various OIDs that are in the script (the OID name was included 
for
documentation purposes). Please try this first and see what happens. I know 
it is not a good
solution, but that is all I can offer up right now. I'm sorry that I can't 
be of more help.
If you make changes and get them to work, please let me know. I'll be more 
than happy to
incorporate yhose into a future version.

I originally wrote my script to fill a need we had to monitor our UPS 
batteries and
temperatures. When I wrote it, I used tags that were (I hoped) logical. I 
have traded
emails with others in the community, and really haven't found a good 
repository for
naming standards. Is there a standard? Clarification for the community 
PLEASE!
The biggest fear is that something good is written, but can't be used 
because it conflicts
directly with something else.

Thanks for the info and the feedback!
