+10000 for the sitemonitor monitoring. The web interface ***of the
charge controller*** is in no way protected. I would not trust it on a
network even if I had it behind a firewall.
Whoops.

Make sure you have the most recent firmware for the charge
controllers. There is a memory leak in older (5 years+) versions that
would knock out monitoring. Charging would happen like normal but
details about that charging were just static numbers.
The new firmware now only leaks enough to freak out every 2 years or
so. Just bounce the charge controller during your yearly maintenance
and you should be good.

How are you retrieving the data from the morningstar to feed into the
program? http interface?
I'm fine with using curl, sed, regex in a shell script to graph
arbitrary data from things that present more information via a
non-SNMP interface... Been doing that for a while with external
sources like weather data, I-5 traffic, etc.

I actually have a few C programs that can be used to query any
values you want from a Morningstar with ethernet. I use them to
feed MRTG with the actual voltages and currents through my
Morningstars. One less piece of hardware and one less cable to
deal with and one less voltage vampire on my solar sites...

if you hook up a packetflux to the serial port than you can get
everything you could ever want to monitor via SNMP. The built

is pretty limited.
here's a screenshot of the packetflux web interface, all
these values
can be obtained via SNMP.

Any chance you could snmpwalk one starting from the root OID,
numeric, and copy/paste the results back to the mailing
list? I'm
curious what it exposes.

We use Morningstar tri-star controllers. They have a web
interface and snmp support via an Ethernet
connection. You can
also hook up to the serial port a packetflux module
designed for
the Morningstar controllers.

Is there anything new on the market in the last 2
years or
so that speaks SNMP over IP and Ethernet?
Specifically I'm trying to figure out how to
integrate
OpenNMS and Cacti with OIDs for integer values
like charging
amperage, input current from PV, current battery
string
voltage, etc. Temperature monitoring would be
nice too.
