Überwachung von UPS – und jetzt auch Energy Stations
UPS und Energiestationen versorgen die IT-Infrastruktur mit der erforderlichen Energie und sind daher ein sehr wichtiger Teil einer jeden Infrastruktur.
Es ist also auf jeden Fall sinnvoll auf diesen Geräten Alarme zu definieren und die entsprechenden Monitoring-Daten zu sammeln.
Letzthin habe ich einen neuen Ansatz und neue Plugins für diese Art von Überwachung implementiert. Früher wurden UPS und Energie Stationen über ein einzelnes Plugin überwacht, nun haben wir versucht die Überwachung dieser Geräte folgendermaßen aufzuteilen:
Alarms
Battery
In/Out
Availability (Ping)
Availability (HTTP(s))
Der große Vorteil hierbei ist, dass auch wenn aktuell aktive Alarme auf einem Gerät bestehen, Sie neue Alarme, wenn sich z.B. die Uplink Energie des Gerätes verringert oder die Batterie einen Leistungsverlust verzeichnet, trotzdem sehen. Außerdem versucht das Plugin automatisch den Gerätetyp zu erahnen, damit „allgemeine“ Monitoring-Dienste erstellt und den verschiedenen Gerätetypen zugewiesen werden können. Aktuell können wir die folgenden Typen unterscheiden:
Netvision (alte und neue mibs)
Socomec (alte und neue mibs)
Netvision Energy Stations
Benning (alte und neue mibs)
APC
Generex
MGE
Delta
Somit sind Sie in der Lage ein breites Geräte-Sortiment zu überwachen, damit sie sich jederzeit sicher sein können, dass alles korrekt funktioniert bzw. informiert werden falls Handlungsbedarf besteht.
Durch die Battery und In/Out Graphen können Sie außerdem darstellen ob sich der Energiekonsum Ihrer Geräte über die Zeit hinweg verändert.
I have over 20 years of experience in the IT branch. After first experiences in the field of software development for public transport companies, I finally decided to join the young and growing team of Würth Phoenix. Initially, I was responsible for the internal Linux/Unix infrastructure and the management of CVS software. Afterwards, my main challenge was to establish the meanwhile well-known IT System Management Solution WÜRTHPHOENIX NetEye. As a Product Manager I started building NetEye from scratch, analyzing existing open source models, extending and finally joining them into one single powerful solution. After that, my job turned into a passion: Constant developments, customer installations and support became a matter of personal. Today I use my knowledge as a NetEye Senior Consultant as well as NetEye Solution Architect at Würth Phoenix.

In some test or development environments, there may be a need to simulate the presence of GSM modems without having physical devices. This can be useful, for example, to test monitoring checks, SMS management systems, or to create new notification Read More

When designing an Elasticsearch architecture, choosing the right storage is crucial. While NFS might seem like a convenient and flexible option, it comes with several pitfalls when used for hosting live Elasticsearch data (hot, warm, cold, and frozen nodes). However, Read More
