Nut upsuser - Feb 2013 - (no subject)

I am working with a Middle Atlantic IP controllable UPS. I have found that
it is made by CyberPower and is controlled via SNMP. There are some
controls using the auto SNMP driver that do not show up with uspcmd -l
$UPSNAME. Is there a way to use a manufacturer supplied .mib file to
control this piece?

The SNMP driver maintainer is swamped at the moment, but we have some
documentation on this:

http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/~buildbot/cayenne/docs/latest/developer-guide.chunked/ar01s04.html#snmp-subdrivers

As I understand it, if you have a separate MIB file, you need to find a way to
put it on the MIB path for snmpwalk, otherwise tools which use snmpwalk (such as
the NUT SNMP subdriver generation script) will only have numeric IDs for the
extra features.

In order to do this, you will need a post-2.6.5 snapshot of the NUT source code,
which you can get from Github:

Feel free to post any questions you encounter. Even if you just have a sysOID
for your UPS, we can compare it to the others in the tree, and see if it is
similar.
