This document presents interactions between SNMP and Network UPS Tools.

There are two part in NUT for SNMP support:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) the agent or server side
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An SNMP agent provides information for its hardware.
|
||
|
|
In general, agents are embedded in SNMP card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This part has to be implemented as a Net-SNMP sub agent, acting
|
||
|
|
as a NUT middleware (upsd level). Such software make a bridge
|
||
|
|
between NUT data and SNMP, thus allowing to monitor, through
|
||
|
|
SNMP, standard point to point UPSs (serial and USB).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is part of the "UPS Sub-Agent" project with Net-SNMP team.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) the client side
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An SNMP client communicates with an agent to acquire data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This part, which has to be a NUT driver, is implemented by snmp-ups.
|
||
|
|
snmp-ups acts as a bridge from SNMP to NUT, thus allowing to monitor
|
||
|
|
in NUT any SNMP Agent (embedded or on a host).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new snmp-ups driver now support multiple MIBS (SNMP structures
|
||
|
|
declaration). For more information on snmp-ups, have a look at its
|
||
|
|
manpage (man 8 snmp-ups).
