Hi all, I'm trying to monitor a number of APC devices including UPSs, NetBotz, PDUs and ATSs. While I can successfully SNMP poll these devices and add them to the system I'm struggling to display useful information from them in Orion NPM due to them incorrectly reporting their Vendor and Machine Type strings and the way Orion NPM assigns views to devices.
I have:
- UPSs reporting an 'Unknown' vendor
- NetBotz 320s reporting 'APC NetBotz' as Vendor and 'APC NetBotz Appliance' as Machine Type
- A variety of different ATSs, PDUs, UPSs and NetBotz 200 reporting both Vendor and Machine Type as 'American Power Conversion Corp.'
- get APC to fix there firmwares to correctly report this information (I can hear someone muttering "Good luck with that!")
- somehow bodge the devices' entries in the Orion NPM database to be more useful
