Scenario / Question:
How do I monitor APC UPS Battery via apcaccess on linuxSolution / Answer:
Use the check_apcupsd plugin and NRPEDownload check_apcupsd Plugin on Remote Host Server
The original check_apcupsd plugin can be found here.check_apcupsd
I modified the check_apcupsd plugin to include the STATUS (Online or Offline) and renamed it to check_apcups
Which can be downloaded from here.
check_apcups
1. Download the plugin to folder /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
2. Change permissions on plugin to nagios
# cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ # chown nagios.nagios check_raid # chmod 775 check_raid3. Test the plugin works
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_apcups -w 80 -c 60 bcharge
Edit nrpe.cfg File on Remote Host Server
Add a new command definition to the nrpe.cfg file on the remote host# vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
Add new check_apcups command definitions.command[check_apcups_bcharge]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_apcups -w 95 -c 50 bcharge command[check_apcups_itemp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_apcups -w 35 -c 40 itemp command[check_apcups_loadpct]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_apcups -w 75 -c 85 loadpct command[check_apcups_status]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_apcups statusBecause we are running xinetd we do not need to restart the NRPE daemon. Otherwise you would have to restart the NRPE daemon for the changes to take effect.
Add Service Definition to Nagios Monitoring Server
On the monitoring host, you need to define a new service for check_something on the remote host. Addthe following entry to one of your object configuration files (linux-server-remote.cfg)
define service { use generic-service host_name remotehost service_description APC STATUS check_command check_nrpe!check_apcups_status } define service { use generic-service host_name remotehost service_description APC CHARGE check_command check_nrpe!check_apcups_bcharge } define service { use generic-service host_name remotehost service_description APC TEMP check_command check_nrpe!check_apcups_itemp } define service { use generic-service host_name remotehost service_description APC LOAD check_command check_nrpe!check_apcups_loadpct }Next, verify your Nagios configuration files and restart Nagios.
# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg # service nagios restart
