There are two part in NUT for SNMP support:
12
1) the agent or server side
14
An SNMP agent provides information for its hardware.
15
In general, agents are embedded in SNMP card.
17
This part has to be implemented as a Net-SNMP sub agent, acting
18
as a NUT middleware (upsd level). Such software make a bridge
19
between NUT data and SNMP, thus allowing to monitor, through
20
SNMP, standard point to point UPSs (serial and USB).
22
This is part of the "UPS Sub-Agent" project with Net-SNMP team.
29
An SNMP client communicates with an agent to acquire data.
31
This part, which has to be a NUT driver, is implemented by snmp-ups.
32
snmp-ups acts as a bridge from SNMP to NUT, thus allowing to monitor
33
in NUT any SNMP Agent (embedded or on a host).
35
The new snmp-ups driver now support multiple MIBS (SNMP structures
36
declaration). For more information on snmp-ups, have a look at its
37
manpage (man 8 snmp-ups).
