pyapcupsdexporter

Dockerized Python script that will send data from apcupsd to influxdb.

This is a fork of https://github.com/atribe/apcupsd-influxdb-exporter to add InfluxDB 2.x support.

How to build

Building the image is straight forward:

Git clone this repo
docker build -t pyapcupsdexporter .

Environment Variables

These are all the available environment variables, along with some example values, and a description.

With the changes to InfluxDB 2.0, this currently requires you to have an ORG + Token setup instead of the base username/password.

Environment Variable	Example Value	Description
WATTS	1000	if your ups doesn't have NOMPOWER, set this to be the rated max power, if you do have NOMPOWER, don't set this variable
APCUPSD_HOST	192.168.1.100	host running apcupsd, defaults to the value of influxdb_host
INFLUX_URL	http://192.168.1.100:8086	required. URL to your InfluxDB Instance.
INFLUX_ORG	my-org	required, the name of the organization.
INFLUX_TOKEN	somebase64string	required, needed to log in to InfluxDB instance
INFLUXDB_PORT	8086	optional, defaults to 8086
INFLUXDB_PORT	8086	optional, defaults to 8086
INTERVAL	10	optional, defaults to 10 seconds
VERBOSE	true	if anything but true docker logging will show no output

How to Use

Run docker container directly

docker run --rm  -d --name="pyapcupsdexporter" \
    -e "WATTS=600" \
    -e "INFLUX_URL=http://10.0.1.11:8086" \
    -e "INFLUX_TOKEN=asdflkajwse;orfiajsdklfjaskl==" \
    -e "INFLUX_ORG=my-org" \
    -e "APCUPSD_HOST=10.0.1.11" \
    -t xNinjaKittyx/pyapcupsdexporter

Note: if your UPS does not include the NOMPOWER metric, you will need to include the WATTS environment variable in order to compute the live-power consumption metric.

Run from docker-compose

version: '3'
services:
  pyapcupsdexporter:
    image: xNinjaKittyx/pyapcupsdexporter
    container_name: pyapcupsdexporter
    restart: always
    environment:
      WATTS: 1000
      APCUPSD_HOST: 10.0.1.11
      INFLUX_URL: http://10.0.1.11:8086
      INFLUX_ORG: my-org
      INFLUX_TOKEN:
      INTERVAL: 5

If you want to debug the apcaccess output or the send to influxdb, set the environment variable "VERBOSE" to "true"
