anyone know if there is a special plugin needed to monitor APC pdu units ?
or can I add it to services.cfg with snmp ?
the APC units have a web interface with SNMP config options.
thanks
newbie loser.
Hi!
sorry, I don’t even know what’s an APC pdu unit.
However, if it can answer to SNMP queries, you should have a look at the “check_snmp” plug in;
you can find it in the nagios plugins.
run it with the --help option, and it should be clear 
if not, don’t hesitate to post again
sorry,
PDU is power distribution unit
APC is the manufacture. the make power supply units.
this is a rack power supply. it has a web based and ssh interface that will
send snmp traps for monitoring.
