Net-SNMP module for apcupsd
This is Net-SNMP module for monitoring APC UPSes without SNMP support. It reads output from apcupsd (/sbin/apcaccess) and writes it into appropriate OIDs like UPSes with built-in SNMP support.
Installation
To load this into a running agent with embedded Perl support turned on, simply put the following line to your snmpd.conf file:
perl do "/path/to/mod_apcupsd.pl";
Net-snmp must be compiled with Perl support and apcupsd properly configured and running!
Use
Try snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <host> .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1 and you should
get something like:
$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1

You can also query only one OID:
$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public grid .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0

What can be improved
-
Reimplement snmp_handler to correctly support walking through subtrees of .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1 (e.g. .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2). Currently it can list subtrees only on .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1 and leafs.
-
Add remaining OIDs that apcupsd could get data for. I included only OIDs for my APC Back-UP RS 500.
-
Implement support for setting values and traps.
Feel free to contribute! I have no intention in future development.
Important notes
-
Download PowerNet (APC) MIB file: powernet401.mib.

I'm not skilled Perl programmer, this is my first Perl script I ever wrote. So if you find something weird in it, please let me know about it and fix it. However it's working perfectly fine for me, so I hope it's ok.
