I think I found something you could use to detect it. You could check OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.7.1 (upsmgOutputPhaseNum)

My guess is that UPS with only one phase are line-interactive and UPS with three phases are online. Correct me if I am wrong or that is not always applicable.

Hi,

confusion between MGE/Eaton, because Eaton acquired MGE in 2007 year.

About "Inverter Off" sensor - I walked multiple such devices,
and confirm I see on some devices it set as "yes", on some as "no".
But I not see any param/way for detect if ups line-interactive or online (by snmp).
If someone know - show me.

Ahhh… yes that makes perfect sense thanks!

So yes the question now becomes – is there a way to set this in Observium?

Doing it by model would be painful, maybe you could set the state during a discovery to be the ‘good’ state? As the chances of a power fail being present at the exact moment of discovery are relatively small…

Hi,

we are using some MGE UPS that are similar to your Eaton UPS and we have the same issue.

I recently talked to an Eaton Engineer and he explained to me that our UPS are line-interactive and therefore the inverter has to be off in normal operation.

For the bigger “online UPS” on the other hand the inverter has to be on.

It seems like Observium is configured to treat all the Eaton and MGE UPS as online UPS.

Maybe there is a way for Observium to detect whether it is an online or line-interactive UPS and handle the inverter Alert accordingly.

Regards,

Siegfried

Betreff: [Observium] Eaton 5130 'Inverter Off' Flipped

Hi,

We’ve got several Eaton 5130 RT 3000 (with extended battery packs) being deployed to some remote locations. One of my guys has been setting them up overnight but has noticed that Observium reports one of the metrics incorrectly for all of the new units.

Ironically the inverter status is, well, inverted.

The platform is detected as:

Hardware                5130 RT 3000

Operating system        MGE UPS 6006AC (Firmware: JI)

A debug of the status module, shows:

SQL[UPDATE `status-state` set `status_value` ='2',`status_name` ='No',`status_event` ='ok',`status_last_change` ='1470278633',`status_polled` ='1470295701' WHERE `status_id` = '1289']

[status_name]        => string(3) "Yes"

[status_event]       => string(5) "alert"

))

Reading the standards for that OID, that does seem to be the wrong way around.

After a simulated power failure, you can see it goes to ‘2’ when the power is failed and the inverter is (actually) off.

As a side note, I noticed that Observium is polling the OIDs for a Merlin Gerin unit (.1.3.6.1.4.1.705.x) for when the unit is actually Eaton.

Should it maybe be looking here instead?

I could be very wrong, maybe there is a valid reason to us the Merlin Gerin instead (I know they merged, but I thought I’d mention it in light of the odd issue).

Any ideas anyone? Cheers!
