system monitor not showing UPS status
« on: October 20, 2008, 11:29:35 AM »
Hello All,
   I am using sme 7.3 and have recently installed System Monitor. It is working fine but the only issue which I am getting is that it is not showing the status of the APC UPS I am using.
Can Anyone tell me the config changes I have to make.

Regards
Hasan
My software is not having any bugs,
It just does some random calculations intelligently :-)

I think it's a bug. I have the same issue. Reported it in the bug tracker several months ago, but I don't have the bug number to hand I'm afraid. AFAIK it's not fixed yet, but I suspect development time is on more important issues at the mo.

For now I monitor the UPS with a windows WinNut Client from http://sourceforge.net/projects/winnutclient/

Hope that helps, for now at least :-P

I have no walktrough

i used an old contrib form sme6

modified the configuration cause the panel was not working.

and system-monitor picked up the data and showed the graphs.

start here http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/apcupsd/
