    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?

     have you checked the Contnet Sharing Zone?

    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.....

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