    Getting data for monitored PDU

    Reply

     Hi there,

     Has anyone managed to sucessfully monitor the outlets of an APC PDU in orion v9? I am able to pull things like build date, firmware version, but i'm getting 'no data' for the 24 outlet ports. Has anyone managed to get data for these outlets?

     
    Thnx

    I'm monitoring my APC PDU outlets. What APC models are you trying to monitor?

     It is a metered PDU, I have since been told by APC that only switched PDUs will give data for each outlet

    Most of my APC PDU's are Metered. I'm using the Universal Device Poller to pull AMP information.

    We were actually going through a similar exercise earlier in the week and after contacting APC they indicated that it is not possible to pull per outlet power consumption information.  There is an OID for amps per outlet but it only returns 0.  It is possible to get some general PDU power information.

    If you are getting per outlet details, can you please share the OID. 

    Thanks!

    Or export the poller and post to the Content Sharing Zone.

     I would be very interested in seeing this custom poller.  We are getting ready to upgrade to Orion v9, and are currently evaluating APC metered PDUs.
