Liebert UPS Testing Revision 1

Post by steveballantyne » Sun Jun 10, 2012 8:52 pm

Hello all,

I have been through several network monitoring packages and most of them are pretty terrible. I was happy to have discovered FreeNATS which was not overly complicated, and yet still provided the simple monitoring features that everybody needs (as in is it up or not?).

A few years ago I started buying up Emerson Liebert UPS systems to replace our mix of APC and Tripp Lite models. Liebert sells a web card option which provides you with SNMP monitoring and limited management. I am just now getting around to monitoring these units and I needed something very simple to do it with. And that is where this test comes from.

This is a "first effort" from a non-programmer. So if you spot some sloppy code and have some ideas on how to improve this script, please share your thoughts! Hopefully there is someone else out there monitoring Liebert UPS's and using FreeNATS who can make use of this.

This test provides you with a battery status (good, or needs replaced), time left on battery (you hope it's zero, otherwise you are running on battery), and temperature (how hot in Fahrenheit degrees). The temperature has been the most useful reading to me, because it tells me which of my wiring closets are running too hot and will kill my batteries prematurely.

Thanks to Dave (the admin and creator of FreeNATS) I was about to get hints on how I could also display the model number and serial number on the testing screen. This should be useful if you need to call into support for battery replacement, etc.

And now, the code:

Code: Select all

<?php // liebertups.inc.php -- Liebert UPS Module 

// This is to pull info from a Liebert UPS with a web card
// installed to it.  As you can tell, it's a customization
// made upon the tcp.inc.php included with FreeNATS.

To use the above code, just copy and paste it into a new file called "liebertups.inc.php" and save it into your server/base/tests directory in your FreeNATS directory structure.

Enjoy!
