Re: [Nut-upsuser] Setting Battery Runtime Low
Citeren Arnaud Quette aquette@gmail.com: indeed, and a full rewrite is also needed, to support the subdrivers approach as in usbhid-ups. Yes. Although it would be possible to add the lookup (forward and reverse) functions like in usbhid-ups (which would allow for better conversion between IOD - NUT values), it would be much better to start from scratch here. Since I don't have a SNMP capable UPS, I can't really work on it other than the occasional fix for an obvious problem. well, your NMC (in the evolution) is SNMP capable (beside the XML/HTTP channel). Yes and no. It indeed does talk SNMP, but as far as I can see doesn't support changing variables. The only method for changing the 'battery.runtime.low' parameter, is through the HTTP interface. I've not been able to change a single variable through the SNMP interface. depending on your exact card reference and FW version, it will expose a minimum or full set of IETF + MGE MIBS. Currently it reports Network Management Card V6.00 HB (SNMP) Network Management Card/Mosaic 4M 16M/HB (XML) This is the latest firmware I could find for the NMC 66102 (technical level 09). Arjen: if needed, I can also check to send you a more suitable card, but I know that you're already quite busy. It would probably be easier to have access to a device with native SNMP support. I don't need physical access to it, it's enough if I can reach it through the net.

[Nut-upsuser] Setting Battery Runtime Low
Dear All, We have an Eaton 9395 UPS, with a ConnectUPS Web/SNMP card. I've successfully configured NUT to talk to the SNMP card, however it reports a battery.runtime.low of 1 , not much use, how do I change this value, is it defined by the UPS itself, the SNMP card, or NUT ? Output of upsc below.

Re: [Nut-upsuser] Setting Battery Runtime Low
Citeren Poulton, Stuart W.L. sw...@leicester.ac.uk: I've successfully configured NUT to talk to the SNMP card, however it reports a battery.runtime.low of 1 , not much use, how do I change this value, is it defined by the UPS itself, the SNMP card, or NUT ? This is a configurable value, setting the runtime remaining on battery before the low battery warning is raised. It looks like the driver uses the UPS-MIB::upsConfigLowBattTime OID for this. According to IETF 1628, the units of this value is minutes. So in order to correctly display this in the units NUT uses (seconds) we need to multiply by 60 (similar to the UPS-MIB::upsEstimatedMinutesRemaining that is used for battery.runtime). So I guess what the UPS is trying to tell you, is that the runtime remaining is before it will report battery low, is 60 seconds. Depending on your UPS you might be able to change this value though the 'upsrw' command (see 'man 8 upsrw'). Remember to input this value in minutes for the time being, until we have fixed this.
