MRTG APC UPS battery info

MRTG APC UPS battery info

In addition to the APC PDU’s which you can graph nicely to see the power usage, it is also possible to graph a UPS so you can monitor the UPS with mrtg.

In this case I will be using a APC Smart-UPS VT 40 which supports graphing the battery temperature, battery capacity, input & output frequency, minimum & maximum line voltage and the reason why the UPS switched to battery (see below for a example)

First create your MRTG config dir in /etc/ if it doesn’t exists yet and create a mrtg dir in your www root (in my case /var/www) the name of the UPS I will be monitoring is ‘UPS001’.

trouble@sun:$ sudo mkdir /etc/mrtg
trouble@sun:$ sudo mkdir -p /var/www/mrtg/UPS001

Then create the mrtg config file: /etc/mrtg/APC001.cfg and add the following content:

Be sure to change the SNMP community and IP to your settings and the location of your www root if you use some other location.

Now add the following line to your crontab to run mrtg every 5 minutes.

1

*/5 * * * *   env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/UPS001.cfg >> /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log 2>&1

Create a index.html in /var/www/mrtg/UPS001:

trouble@sun:$ indexmaker /etc/mrtg/UPS001.cfg > /var/www/mrtg/UPS001/index.html

Now browse to your webserver and you should see the graphs.
