Input plugin apcupsd not serving any metrics

freaknils commented 3 years ago

Hi,

i have installed a new APC UPS for my homeserver, after the last has broken a few weeks ago. Since then I do not get any metrics served from apcupsd.

Relevant telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.apcupsd]]
  # A list of running apcupsd server to connect to.
  # If not provided will default to tcp://127.0.0.1:3551
  servers = ["tcp://127.0.0.1:3551"]

  ## Timeout for dialing server.
  timeout = "5s"

System info:

root@yggdrasil ~ # uname -a
Linux yggdrasil 5.9.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 02 Dec 2020 16:14:56 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@yggdrasil ~ # telegraf --version
Telegraf 1.16.3 (git: HEAD c7f21728)

Steps to reproduce:

Activate apcupsd with APC Smart UPS 1000.

Expected behavior:

Should output data from APC UPS, but no ups data is provided

apcaccess output is:

Actual behavior:

Any other metric is provided fine but apcupsd. Output shows

Thanks for the issue, the ALARMDEL value is being parsed incorrectly and looking into a way to fix it.

Error in 1.17 still present

ivorybilled commented 3 years ago

@freaknils If it's of any use, having the ALARMDEL be any value of 'No Alarm', '5 seconds' or '30 seconds' will work. 'Always' and 'Low Battery' don't currently work right now because of the way the library we use parses the data. We're working to fix the issue.

Pending upstream issue required for fix: https://github.com/mdlayher/apcupsd/issues/10

Hi, we've just merged a fix for this issue on the telegraf side. Let us know if there are any concerns.
