Re: APC Rack PDU environmental sensor
Thanks! Previously I had created 2 separate datasources for temp and humidity, but I was able to modify yours and added a couple things: - Description: datasource created to apply to certain models of APC Rack PDUs (AP84XX, AP86XX, AP88XX, AP89XX) https://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA156179/ - Enabled Active Discovery and checks for sensor type temperatureOnly (1) or temperatureHumidity (2) real values from1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26.10.2.2.1.5 (rPDU2SensorTempHumidityStatusEntry) before adding instance to devices Description OID1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26.10.2.2.1.3 can be added if the sensor name has been configured on the device, default is "SensorName" so I leave it out and let the instance take the name of the sensor (first and only is 1 in my environment) R4C9GL APC suggests that the newer Rack PDUs (rPDU2) monitoring use the1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26 values for as described in the link and they do not recommend the old OIDs.3Views0likes0CommentsEnvironmental Sensor Suggestions?
I'm having difficulty looking for a replacement ofNetBotz to monitor all DCs/IDFs and fully supported by LM. Does anyone have recommendations? I'm guessing we want two tiers of monitoring: some with cameras and detailed sensors, the rest with just temperature sensing in random closets. NetBotz run a big expensive, but if they are the best choice I'm ready to make thecase. I've heard good things about ITWatchDog, but can't find anything the DataSources for them.4Views0likes1Comment
