Checkmk now discovers the wireless sensors (NBWS100T, NBWS100H) of APC NetBotz Rack Monitor devices such as the NetBotz 250. You get one Temperature service per wireless sensor and, for sensors that measure it, one Humidity service.
The services are named after the sensor name configured on the device. Sensors
without a name show up as Wireless sensor <index>, using the sensor index
reported by the device.
Technical background
The wired sensors of these devices are reported via the NetBotz MIBs, but the
wireless ones are not: they only show up in the wirelessSensorStatusTable of
the PowerNet MIB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.5.1.1.1), which Checkmk did not
read so far. The new SNMP section apc_netbotz_wireless_sensors feeds this
table into the existing check plugins, so no new services or rulesets are
involved.
Temperatures are converted to degrees Celsius according to the temperature unit
configured on the device (emsStatusSysTempUnits, memSensorsStatusSysTempUnits).
If the device reports no unit, Checkmk assumes Celsius.
