UPS SNMP Inventory

[luconecobas]

SNMP Inventory from GLPI Agent can't collect data from UPS as they're considered as "Network Devices" to start an inventory of the batteries.

Collected data are useless and the UPS is added to the "Network Devices" category instead of UPS.

It'ill be welcome for the UPS category to be updated as an SNMP eligible target for GLPI Agent with good data to collect and retrieve.

The purpose is not to move UPS monitoring into GLPI. Monitoring tools are obviously better suited for real-time values such as battery charge, load, runtime and temperature.

The purpose of SNMP inventory would be to collect asset and lifecycle information that belongs in GLPI: manufacturer, model, serial number, firmware, battery information and, where available, battery health/replacement status.

Battery health is particularly valuable because it allows the CMDB/asset management system to identify aging batteries and plan replacements and purchases before they become an operational problem.
