• A separate APC UPS Information menu delivers tabular and graphical information for the overall device

• Zenoss Versions Supported: 3.0
• External Dependencies: The APC UPS MIB needs to be available on target devices
• ZenPack Dependencies:
• Note that the standard /Power/UPS device class needs to exist. If not, recreate it.
• Installation Notes: zopectl restart after installing this ZenPack.
• Configuration:

Download the appropriate package for your Zenoss version from the list below.

• Zenoss 3.0+ Latest Package for Python 2.6

Copy the downloaded .egg to your Zenoss server and run the following commands as the zenoss user:

zenpack --install <package.egg>
zenhub restart
zopectl restart

If you wish to further develop and possibly contribute back to this ZenPack you should clone the git repository, then install the ZenPack in developer mode:

zenpack --link --install <package>
zenhub restart
zopectl restart
