I do the same, but with ganglia. I've noticed that different APCs
report power differently (after comparing APC output to BCMS output.)
Our newer servers also report power consumption via IPMI: /usr/bin/
ipmitool sdr type "Current". We also graph that via ganglia.

We're using Cacti currently, pulling the data from APCs via SNMP,
and I
wanted to check if someone had come across a better method before I
