Get data from USB-connected UPS into InfluxDB using Telegraf
Transforms upsc output like this:
battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 10
battery.charge.warning: 20
battery.mfr.date: CPS
battery.runtime: 3133
battery.runtime.low: 300
battery.type: PbAcid
battery.voltage: 13.1
battery.voltage.nominal: 12
..into InfluxDB Line Protocol like this:
ups battery.charge=100,battery.charge.low=10,battery.charge.warning=20,battery.mfr.date="CPS",battery.runtime=2970,battery.runtime.low=300,battery.type="PbAcid",battery.voltage=13.1,battery.voltage.nominal=12
Edit the script cmd variable to reflect your setup. Specifically, change 'ups' to whatever you named your UPS in NUT or upsd. Add any additional measurement names that your UPS provides to the string_measurements array (in sorted order) so they will be included in the output.
To see all the measurements your UPS provides, run this:
upsc YOUR_UPS_NAME_HERE 2>/dev/null | awk -F':' 'BEGIN {print "string_measurements=["} {print "\"" $1 "\", "} END {print "]"}' |tr -d '\n'
Call the script from telegraf.conf like this
[[inputs.exec]]
commands = ["python /path/to/getUpsData.py"]
timeout = "5s"
data_format = "influx"
Tested on:
- Cyberpower CP1000AVRLCDa
- MGE Pulsar 2200
If you're using this with a different UPS, please let me know so I can add it to the list
