Looking for an example for pulling voltage readings from rectifiers

I am new to SWQL and am trying to pull voltage readings from Vertive rectifiers. Does anyone have an example that I could start with?

Thanks

@dkos You can either use SAM or create a poller via the Universal Device Poller. Once you create the poller, having it point to the SNMP data you need to pull, you can then display that data in various ways. You don't necessarily need to display the data via SWQL queries, though you can usually manipulate it a bit more.

Where are you at in regards of data collection? Do you already have the data you need and are just looking to display it? Or, do you still need to locate the data within the device and pull it into your SolarWinds environment?

Thank you,

Thanks, I got this far , just looking for help trying to display it under the Node Details tab.

@dkos, I should rephrase my question, as the answer will lead you down different paths. In my example, I am actually using SAM to pull the SNMP values, as we don't really need anything more than the basics. If you use SAM to poll SNMP values, you can simply add a resource to display the components/statistics data on the node details page.

If you created a custom UnDP poller, there should be a widget specifically for that data. Both options can also be accessed via SDK took, but the data would be located in completely different places, obviously. How are you collecting your values? Screen shots and any additional data will help us help you narrow it down.

Thank you,

This shows the same info, but polled via each method. You could get more specific if you drill down and filter the UnDP data by directly picking the named poller.

SELECT
CustomPollerName
,StatusDescription
,CurrentValue

FROM Orion.NPM.CustomPollerAssignment

WHERE NodeID=${NodeID}

Will, below is what I am trying to do,

I want a box like this but I need to change the descriptions. so below I need to haev "MACHINE TYPE" changed to AC input voltage,

"SYSTEM NAME" changed to Number of Rectifiers

"CONTACT" changed to BATTERY life Percentage

"SYSOBJECTID" changed to DC voltage

"SOFTWARE VERSION" changed to Usage Percentage

I would like it to show up over on the right side somewhere.

My end goal would be to have all of my sites on the dashboard, and when there is a power loss at one of the locations my NOC can select that location that is in alarm and monitor the battery life percentage. then dispatch generators based on that information.

here is where i changed the poller to gather the information that I was looking for.

TThanks
