How to properly monitor UPS ippon with NUT and Zabbix

A long comment on a post in which the author told how to monitor ippon smart winner using apcupsd. In my opinion this is not the right decision. A question about NUT popped up in the comments and I was surprised that no one talked about a working solution. We will correct it.

Part One: NUT


In fact, NUT even works with representatives of the Ippon smart winner family. And it works with InnovaRT too.

The recipe looks simple. In ups.conf for smart winner add:

[ippon]
    driver = blazer_usb
    subdriver = phoenix
    port = auto
    vendorid = 06da
    productid = 0003
    desc = "UPS SW"

For InnovaRT, you need to change the productid to 0005. It makes no sense to describe the rest of the NUT parts, there are enough articles.

Part 2: Zabbix


And zabbix is ​​correct to use with LLD. I wanted to show my scripts, but google, found the creation of good people - tyts . There are slight differences from my solution, but their roots are about the same.

Offtopic: Be careful when connecting extra batteries to the smart winner! With a tester, check the correctness of the plus and minus output to the battery connector and UPS. It is a tester, you don’t have to trust color coding, I had precedents. If anything - usually 2 fuses on the board are lit, UPS survives after this.
