check_apc.pl

HI Nagios,

Thankyou for building this wonderful plugin to monitor my company ups status. It gives us accurate live data. I am very happy to use this plugin.

One last thing i want to know or set warning and critical level in bat_capacity if battery level is less than 80 and 50 percent. I am using command like:-

./check_apc.pl -H 192.X.X.X -C CommunityName -l bat_capacity -c = 80
OK: Battery Capacity is: 100%|'Battery Capacity'=100;;80;0;100.

Hey,

added a check for Runtime againt Warning / Critical Values. Noticed that one of our UPS had a remaining runtime of 6! Minutes, but the Replacement Flag for the battery was not set.

case "runtime" {
my $ups_runtime_ticks = query_oid($oid_runtimeleft);
my $ups_runtime_mins = int($ups_runtime_ticks / 100 / 60);
my $perf_data = "|'Runtime Remaining'=$ups_runtime_mins,$warning_threshold,$critical_threshold;;";

if ($ups_runtime_mins > $warning_threshold) {
print "OK, (Runtime remaining: $ups_runtime_mins minutes)$perf_datan";
exit $OKAY;
} elsif ($ups_runtime_mins > $critical_threshold) {
print "Warning, (Runtime remaining: $ups_runtime_mins minutes)$perf_datan";
exit $WARNING;
} else {
print "Critical, (Runtime remaining: $ups_runtime_mins minutes)$perf_datan";
exit $CRITICAL;
}


#print "MINUTES: $ups_runtime_minutesn";
#exit $OKAY;
}

Host File:

define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name
service_description RUNTIME
check_command check_apc!runtime -w 20 -c 10
}

Just had one problem and that was the error mentioned in my review title. To fix it, I deleted the:

|| $diag_result == 3

From line 167 in the Health Check area. Otherwise an awesome check script. Thank you!

Hey,

This is my first time working with custom scripts and SNMP. I'm very new to Nagios.

When I Run the script I get the following:

./check_apc.pl -H 10.XX.XX.XXX -C public -l status

CRITICAL: Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 1

---

Changed the following to get it to work and Date check if it's unknown.

When I first integrated the script I always got the error message
>>(Service check did not exit properly) half day I finally found out that the perl-interpreter of Nagios works a little bit different than the manually one...

Well... I inserted to my commandline the path /usr/bin/perl and it worked...

Here's my present command-line:

command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/check_apc.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -l $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

Nice plugin. Does what it says. I'm replacing my homemade apc check plugin with this now except for one test.

This plugin, in the 'status' mode will deplay available runtime, but it doesn't display battery charge as a percentage. Would be nice if it could output both charge level and estimated runtime values (and perfdata) as my current plugin does.

With the command -l health I get the message:
CRITICAL: Self test failure

Just did a couple of self tests on the APC, but still the same message.

Anyone got a success/ normal status with this command?
