Source Code License Open Source
Supported Agents SNMP

This check monitors the electrical current, power consumption, and total load of APC NetShelter Advanced Rack PDU units (APDU series, OID subtree .318.1.1.32).

At the device level it reports total power consumption and load as a percentage of rated capacity (default thresholds: WARN at 80%, CRIT at 90%).

At the phase level it reports current draw and power. The device provides current thresholds which are applied automatically. If a threshold is exceeded the service goes WARN or CRIT.

At the bank level it reports current draw.

Thresholds can be overridden using the "Parameters for input phases of UPSs and PDUs" ruleset.
