apcupsd-monitor

Docker container to expose apcupsd data for use by Prometheus/Grafana

Connects to APC UPS devices via a USB and exposes data for consumption by Prometheus. I use this on a Raspberry Pi to add my UPS data to InternetPi.

This project makes use of apcupsd_exporter to expose apcupsd's metrics over HTTP in a form Prometheus can easily consume.

Configuration

Edit apcupsd.conf as you see fit, particuarly if you prefer to use an Ethernet connected APC UPS device. You must rebuild existing container images after changes to this file.

Building

Build the container locally by running: docker build -t apcupsd-docker:latest .

Running

Assuming you have a docker-compose.yaml file already for Prom/Grafana, add a service as follows:

  apcups:
    image: apcupsd-docker:latest
    expose:
      - 9162
    ports:
      - 9162:9162
    restart: always
    devices:
      - "/dev/usb/hiddev0:/dev/usb/hiddev0"

Integration with Prometheus/Grafana

Prometheus

Add somethign like this to your prometheus.yml

  - job_name: 'ups'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['apcups:9162']

Grafana

A sample Grafana dashboard configuration file is provided in /grafana/ups.json.

TODO

• Add the ability to pull configuration at runtime rather than build time
