Trying to auto-discover APC UPS devices but you need a user ID and password to access the UPS. Is it possible to have the PRTG UPS template use an ID and password to access the devices. By default I can get a ping sensor but nothing else. version 8.1.2.1810
How to monitor APC UPS devices with PRTG UPS template with a user ID and password on the UPS?

Hello there,
thank you for your reply.
Which version of the tester are you running and where exactly do you see this error? Please share a screenshot (upload it somewhere and link it here)
And also, if you're looking for a working device template, please refer to:

Our template is strictly based on custom OIDs. The only instance a user name / password can be appropriately used is in the event the sensor is added as SNMP v3 - these entries can be defined under the device.

The APC UPS only requires a username and password for its integrated web server (default apc/apc). For SNMP access (default set to v1) you only need the community string of the UPS (default public) these settings can be set at device or group level on your PRTG server.

Hello I have tried to create a sensor through the SNMP library. APCups.oidlib choose and gives me the following error
Error message: "No interfaces available on this device (Code: PE049)"
I have successfully configured the SNMP community.
Why might it be?

Hallo,
please try with our free SNMP Tester and make a simple Device Uptime request against your UPS

Ok so the target device is generally supporting SNMP and the SNMP connection is also possible. But please use the testers option to scan against the target using the Oidlib. Which result do you then get?

Well, that means that the target does not respond on any of those OIDs. So either it was the wrong MIB or there is a problem with the SNMP Communication.

The SNMP APC Hardware Sensor can monitor several performance counters on your APC UPS device. It is available in PRTG out of the box (as of PRTG 9.1.0).

I too am having difficulty getting some basic SNMP information out of two of my vertically mounted rack metered PDU's from APC.
I have configured SNMP v1 for read access and can query the system for uptime without any problem.
The SNMP tester is able to connect using a custom OID that i found in another thread in the PRTG support forums:
1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.1.3.0 (Firmware Version) ----------------------- New Test ----------------------- Paessler SNMP Tester 5.1.3 2/26/2015 11:36:33 AM (3 ms) : Device: 172.25.X.X 2/26/2015 11:36:33 AM (5 ms) : SNMP V1 2/26/2015 11:36:33 AM (7 ms) : Custom OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.1.3.0 2/26/2015 11:36:33 AM (99 ms) : ------- 2/26/2015 11:36:33 AM (101 ms) : Value: v3.7.0 2/26/2015 11:36:33 AM (103 ms) : Done
However when adding the SNMP APC Hardware Sensor that comes build in to PRTG i get the following error:
Sorry, the scan for available monitoring items has failed! Error Message No available interfaces on this device (code: PE049) Sensor Type SNMP APC Hardware Device APC 20A (172.25.X.X)
Is that because my APC unit does not support the OID's that are included in this sensor "pack"?
I'd really like to view power load, etc on these PDU's.
Using PRTG 15.1.13.1312+

Hello,
May I ask you to please use our SNMP Tester, to perform a scan against the target APC device, with the "APC UPS.oidlib" (C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\snmplibs) from PRTG selected? Which results do you get in the Tester?

The only OID Value that works for Ambient Temperature is this:
1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.25.1.2.1.6.1.1
At this moment I have two sensors for Ambient Temperature. How can I find the correct OID for either of them ?
This is my hardware:

Hello icee,
thank you for your reply.
Since you have an AP9631, You might want to check out the following:
You can also do a walk of 1.3.6.1.4.1.318 with our SNMP Tester to find out all OID's to which the device responds.

Hi,
Just trying to get up and running with PRTG here, trying to connect to an APC Network Management Card 2
I have enabled both SNMP V1 and V3 on the card but when running the SNMP Tester I keep getting
"Property "datatype": TPaeinternallist.getintegers: Empty property. |
Google's not throwing anything up, any advice?

Just bought and installed a new APC UPS that has the UPS Network Management Card 3 card in it and can't get anything to show up except ping. Evan updated the the latest firmware, but no change. Here are the tester results:

We found a less than desirable workaround - we had the community name set to a custom number, and the IP set to a remote PRTG server. When I changed the authorized IP to 0.0.0.0 on the management card, it worked. For some reason it does not like a specific IP set (even though it is correct). I haven't verified whether PRTG is running through a load balancer or not.
We have a local PRTG server that worked for some sensors (with a specific IP called out in the SNMP settings on the APC management card), but could not get the remote PRTG server working without zeroing out the IP, as stated.
