Description

Get data from USB-connected UPS into InfluxDB using Telegraf

Transforms upsc output like this:

battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 10
battery.charge.warning: 20
battery.mfr.date: CPS
battery.runtime: 3133
battery.runtime.low: 300
battery.type: PbAcid
battery.voltage: 13.1
battery.voltage.nominal: 12

..into InfluxDB Line Protocol like this:

upsc,name=UPSCyberPower,battery.type=PbAcid,device.mfr=CPS,device.model=CP900EPFCLCD,device.type=ups,ups.status=OL battery.charge=100,battery.runtime=3150,battery.voltage=24.0,input.voltage=242.0,input.voltage.nominal=230,output.voltage=260.0,ups.load=9

using both tags and fields for better InfluxDB indexing and searching.

Usage

Edit the script UPS_NAME and UPSC_CMD variables to reflect your setup. Specifically, change 'UPSCyberPower' to whatever you named your UPS in NUT or upsd.

Add any upsc output peculiar to your environment to the tag_keys and field_keys variables.

Call the script from telegraf.conf like this

[[inputs.exec]]
   commands = ["/path/to/getUpsData.py"]
   timeout = "5s"
   data_format = "influx"

Compatibility

Tested on:

• Cyberpower CP1000AVRLCDa
• APC Back-UPS
• Cyberpower CP900EPFCLCD

If you're using this with a different UPS, please let me know so I can add it to the list
