Hi,
I have been using MRTG+RRD+14allCGI for graphings @ 300 devices. NetMRG seems to be very useful for my use. I tried to follow the help docs but I still could not monitor certain values on a APC UPS. Here is the data from the mrtg '.conf' file for temperature monitoring on the UPSs.
-------------------------------------
Target[10.1.10.8_batt-temp]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.2.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.2.0:public@10.1.10.8

Legend4[10.1.10.8_batt-temp]: .
LegendI[10.1.10.8_batt-temp]: UPS Battery Temperature
LegendO[10.1.10.8_batt-temp]: .

Whats the best way to monitor theses devices in NetMRG ?
Does NetMRG do a snmpwalk and displays the list of snmp values to be selected ?
How do I use the above OID to make a UPS template.

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

This should be no problem in NetMRG.

To add the new OID to NetMRG:

1. Click on SNMP in the Tests menu.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter a name for the value, perhaps "APC - UPS Battery Temp" and your OID.
4. Select Save Changes.

It would be a good idea to create a 'Template APC UPS' in your Template Group (instead of basing the template on a real device that might go away some day). Create a subdevice in this device ('System' would be fine). Then, add a monitor to that subdevice, using the new SNMP test you created above. You can now create a template graph using this template monitor, and apply that template to your real UPSes.

If you need something explained more, please let us know. Thanks for using NetMRG!
