New firmware release breaks check_snmp_eaton_ups.py

[Stevesibilia]

Firmware 2.0.5 of eaton ups nic breaks output_power check and input_frequency check. Something is changed in device's MIB so the check responds: Unknown - No response from device for output load

The solution is to change OID in eaton.py file and set the indexing method to INDEX_SCALAR. I'v attached my patch file for eaton.py, let me know if it is useful.

For anyone else who stumbles on these plugins because they want to monitor an Eaton UPS in 2024 - thought I'd note the following:

• The plugin does work with the latest Eaton device/firmware
• As @Stevesibilia said, input_frequency is broken, but actually output_power works fine for me out of the box
• environment_temperature and external_environment_temperature didn't work for me, but I'm not sure if that's a SNMP issue, or if I'm missing the environmental probe
• The authors noted their roadmap included replacing netsnmp, but looks like they never got around to it

On my Ubuntu 20.04 server, I just had to download https://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp and more or less do the following

apt install python3
apt install python3-pip
apt install python-is-python3
apt-get install libperl-dev
pip install health_monitoring_plugins

cd net-snmp-5.9.4
./configure
make 
make install

cd python
python setup.py install

ldconfig

Then the majority of the checks work perfectly
