Hi all, one of the remaining "kinks in the cable" that still need working out after me updating to OpenBSD 5.6 is the fact that I can no longer use apcupsd to monitor the "APC Back-UPS CS 500" that is connected to the server via USB. From what I have gathered so far, one has to use sensorsd instead, so I've been through the man pages (sensorsd(8) and sensorsd.conf(5)) as well as through the archives of this list. The one relevant thread I found was this one:
http://marc.info/?t=141670239400001&r=1&w=2 Despite this, I cannot seem to get sensorsd to monitor the state of the ups. Here's what I have so far: The ups is detected properly as can be seen from dmesg: [...] uhidev0 at uhub4 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 "American Power Conversion Back-UPS CS 500 FW:808.q8.I USB FW:q8" rev 1.10/0.06 addr 2 uhidev0: iclass 3/0, 98 report ids upd0 at uhidev0 [...] It is also seen properly by sysctl: # sysctl | grep upd hw.sensors.upd0.indicator0=On (Charging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator1=Off (Discharging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2=On (ACPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator3=On (BatteryPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator4=Off (ShutdownImminent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent0=100.00% (FullChargeCapacity), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent1=55.00% (RemainingCapacity), OK When removing AC power, I can see that the ups reports this as expected: # sysctl | grep upd hw.sensors.upd0.indicator0=Off (Charging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator1=On (Discharging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2=Off (ACPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator3=On (BatteryPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator4=Off (ShutdownImminent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent0=100.00% (FullChargeCapacity), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent1=55.00% (RemainingCapacity), OK (see changes in "Charging", "Discharging" and "ACPresent") What I cannot seem to get to work is that sensorsd *reacts* to these changes. Based on the examples in the thread mentioned above, I've created a small script "/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh" that looks as follows: # cat /etc/sensorsd/upd.sh echo "${@}" | logger -t UPD I have then created the following sensorsd.conf: hw.sensors.upd0.indicator0:high=0:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n Charging %2 %s hw.sensors.upd0.indicator1:high=0:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n Discharging %2 %s hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2:low=1:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n ACPresent %2 %s hw.sensors.upd0.indicator3:low=1:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n BatteryPresent %2 %s hw.sensors.upd0.indicator4:high=0:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n ShutdownImminent %2 %s hw.sensors.upd0.percent0:low=25:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n FullChargeCapacity %2 %s hw.sensors.upd0.percent1:low=25:command=/etc/sensorsd/upd.sh %x.%t%n RemainingCapacity %2 %s When I start sensorsd, I get this output: sensorsd[31995]: upd0.indicator2: exceeds limits: On is below On sensorsd[31995]: upd0.indicator3: exceeds limits: On is below On UPD: upd0.indicator2 ACPresent On OK UPD: upd0.indicator3 BatteryPresent On OK UPD: upd0.percent0 FullChargeCapacity 100.00% OK UPD: upd0.indicator4 ShutdownImminent Off OK UPD: upd0.indicator1 Discharging Off OK UPD: upd0.percent1 RemainingCapacity 61.00% OK UPD: upd0.indicator0 Charging On OK However, when I subsequently remove AC power, nothing happens - no more messages from sensorsd are forthcoming. I've also tried running sensorsd with '-c 1' and left the system for more than a minute after the change, but no avail. Also, some variations on the limits (e.g. "low=1:high=2" for indicator3) did not change anything. I get the sneaking feeling that I might miss something obvious, but so far have no idea. Hence, if someone out there *does* have an idea, I'd be very interested to hear and learn.
