Prerequisites​

To control your Socomec, the SNMP must be configured.

Setup​

  1. Install the Centreon Plugin on every Poller:
yum install centreon-plugin-Hardware-Ups-Socomec-Netvision-Snmp
  1. On the Centreon Web interface in "Configuration > Plugin packs > Manager", install the Socomec Net Vision UPS SNMP Plugin-Pack

Host configuration​

  • Add a new Host and fill the IP Address/FQDN, SNMP Version and SNMP Community fields according to the device's configuration
  • Apply the HW-UPS-Socomec-Netvision-SNMP-Custom Host Template

When using SNMP v3, use the SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS Macro to add specific authentication parameters

MandatoryNameDescription

FAQ​

How to test the Plugin and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin installed, log into your Centreon Poller CLI using the centreon-engine user account and test the Plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_ups_socomec_netvision_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=hardware::ups::socomec::netvision::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=output-lines \
    --hostname=10.30.2.114 \
    --snmp-version='2c' \
    --snmp-community='socomec_ro' \
    --warning-voltage='235' \
    --critical-voltage='240' \
    --verbose

Expected command output is shown below:

OK: Output source status is 'onInverter' - All output lines are ok | '1#line.output.load.percentage'=33.00%;;;0;100 '1#line.output.current.ampere'=5.70A;;;0; '1#line.output.voltage.volt'=230.00V;235;240;; '2#line.output.load.percentage'=20.00%;;;0;100 '2#line.output.current.ampere'=1.80A;;;0; '2#line.output.voltage.volt'=229.00V;235;240;; '3#line.output.load.percentage'=29.00%;;;0;100 '3#line.output.current.ampere'=5.20A;;;0; '3#line.output.voltage.volt'=230.00V;235;240;;
Output line '1' load: 33.00 %, current: 5.70 A, voltage: 230.00 V
Output line '2' load: 20.00 %, current: 1.80 A, voltage: 229.00 V
Output line '3' load: 29.00 %, current: 5.20 A, voltage: 230.00 V

The command above monitors UPS Socomec (--plugin=hardware::ups::socomec::netvision::snmp::plugin --mode=output-lines) identified by the IP address 10.30.2.114 (--hostname=10.30.2.114). As the Plugin is using the SNMP protocol to request the device, the related community and version are specified (--snmp-version='2c' --snmp-community='socomec_ro').

This command would trigger a WARNING alarm if input line voltage over 235V (--warning-voltage='235') and a CRITICAL alarm over 240V (--critical-voltage='240').

All the options as well as all the available thresholds can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_ups_socomec_netvision_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=hardware::ups::socomec::netvision::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=output-lines \
    --help

UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Timeout​

If you get this message, you're probably facing one of theses issues:

  • The SNMP agent of the device isn't started or is misconfigured
  • An external device is blocking the request (firewall, ...)

UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Cant get a single value.​

This error message often refers to the following issues:

  • The agent doesn't support the MIB used by the plugin
  • The targeted SNMP OID cannot be fetched because of insufficient privileges on the device. SNMP Agent must be capable of accessing to the enterprise branch: .1.3.6.1.4.1.4555
