    Description

          [OBS-4874] Observium is displaying incorrect amperage values for Cisco power supplies

          Observium do not calculate any sensor values (except case of unit conversion to SI units).
          All values reported by your device(s) in snmp Oids.

          Make as minimum discovery debug (as Bot requested) for showing you which data received.

          After looking into this more, the amperage values are correct and there are no issues with the readings on Observium. The issue is that cisco reports the amps at 12V so the calculation would be 15*12v = 180w instead of 15*240v which makes more sense.

           

          Thanks!

          We report the number the device gives to us.

          Please make and attach additional information about the device:

          • full snmp dump from device:

            snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> -t 3 -Cc --hexOutputLength=0 -Ih -ObentxU <hostname> .1 > myagent.snmpwalk
            snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> -t 3 -Cc --hexOutputLength=0 -Ih -ObentxU <hostname> .1.3.6.1.4.1 >> myagent.snmpwalk

            If device not support SNMP version 2c, replace -v2c with -v1.

          • If you have problems with discovery or poller processes, please do and attach these debugs:

            ./discovery.php -d -h <device>
            ./poller.php -d -h <device>

          • additionally attach device and/or vendor specific MIB files
