Monitoring APC UPS's and Enviro monitors

Bear with me - a newbie....

I have searched and played with several options but still not sure if this is possible since I have not been able to make it work.

I need to be able to display current values from our APC UPS and Enviro Monitors. I need to display voltage, battery temp, room temp, etc. I have played around with the custom pollers but can I get a graph of the data on the web page? I don't need network stats on these devices - just UPS data.

Is this possible?

Create a custom poller to get more info from a node - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

how far along into the process are you with the setting up your custom mibs?

Thanks for the reply. I will look into it.

I created a custom MIB poller called UPS_Line_Voltage and it grabs the value as expected. What my goal is to get the values graphed so it can go on the web page when the admin clicks on it. I thought Orion was this flexible but might be finding out maybe not.....

you can have the graphs appear on the web page-

this tutorial demonstrates how...

We have played with APC's MIBs but it ends up causing stability issues on our server that monitors the UPS'.

How do you import the mibs?

Hi Sonic--

I want to get clarification on what you want to do.

Are you trying to add an OID/s to the Solarwinds MIB? If so, our MIB is updated frequently. You can add your OID/s to this thread.

Are you trying to poll something and cannot? Are you familiar with our Universal Device Poller described in Chapter 16 of the Orion NPM Administrator Guide?

Let me know and I'll get you an answer.

OP, I setup something similar for our APC Symmetras. I created a new NPM View called APC Details. I then added the appropriate resources for each of the UnDP's. My page displays the following items within a table: UPS Battery Temp, Battery Capacity, Battery Run Time Remaining, Input Line Voltage, Output Load. I also have graphs for Output load, Line Voltage and a gauge for temperature (F).

Once you have your UnDP setup, you just need to add the resources to the page and customize the view. If you need the specific OID's that I use, let me know.
