Hi

In my ongoing quest to try and retrieve as much information as I can about the amount of energy I’m using , I found out that I could use SNMP to see how much power (watts) my UPS is handling .

To do this, I installed snmpd/snmp on my Vera linked Raspberry Pi, and then ran the following command.

local command = io.popen("ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key pi@192.168.102.37 'snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 10.10.10.103' 2>&1")
local response = command:read("*a")
print(response)

Which returned a huge amount of information, which prompted me to ask the community here if there anything on Vera/OpenLuup that people have that can process this sort of information into a new devices and associated variables to then monitor/track going forward ?

[parkerc]

Oh, and if I just want to pull one of the items I just specify the iso number with the snmpget command. E.g

local command = io.popen("ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key pi@192.168.102.37 'snmpget -v1 -c public 10.10.10.103 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0' 2>&1")
local response = command:read("*a")
print(response)

which in this case will just return the first one.

I use a lua scene to read snmp network usage from my switches. Working great for a couple of years now.

[parkerc]

Hi @prophead - can you share more details on the Scene, is it with Lua/luup code ?

[prophead]

@parkerc Yes, I have 3 lua scenes, one for each switch for LAN monitoring and one for my Edgerouter for WAN monitoring. Each uses the same basic snmp framework with device specific tweaks and then saves results to an empty device and then I graph those device variables. I'm happy to share my code below:

[prophead]

@parkerc this is the Dlink 8 port SNMP switch lua:

--check for switch
local ping = os.execute("ping -c 1 192.168.1.11")
if ping ~= 0 then
  luup.log("Dlink 8: Switch down. Aborted.")
  do return end
end

for i = 1,8 do
-- read stored values
   local f = io.open("/tmp/8"..i.."I.txt")
   if f then
   for line in f:lines() do

Many thanks for sharing @prophead

QQ - How did you get smtpget installed on your Vera ? (I don’t have smtpget listed in usr/bin ?)

[prophead]

Altui on a pi

[prophead]

@parkerc then I use grafana to graph

[prophead]

@parkerc I’m going to point you here:

GitHub - jertel/vuegraf: Populate metrics from your Emporia Vue energy monitoring devices into an InfluxDB

Populate metrics from your Emporia Vue energy monitoring devices into an InfluxDB - GitHub - jertel/vuegraf: Populate metrics from your Emporia Vue energy monitoring devices into an InfluxDB

For more energy centric metrics then snmp. I love the vue devices and the grafana integration with this link is stellar for really understanding your energy use.

[prophead]

@parkerc

[parkerc]

Impressive stuff, thanks for sharing @prophead ..

Earlier you mentioned ‘ Edgerouter’ , does that mean you have a Ubiquiti router ? If so would you be able to share the scene Lua for that, as I have a Unfi set up so would love to test that out..

@parkerc as you can see it's virtually same because SNMP is pretty standardized. Yes, this is the ubiquity edgerouter, a great $60 piece of kit. I use it for ISP failover and firewall.

[parkerc]

Many thanks @prophead - I’m going to try and use this with my UniFi Switch this morning..

[parkerc]

Quick observation, if I try the following against my UniFi (USG) Router

local command = io.popen("ssh -y -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key pi@192.168.102.144 'snmpget -r 1 -v1 -c public 192.168.102.1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.4' 2>&1")
local response = command:read("*a")
print(response)

it times out..

Timeout: No Response from 192.168.102.1.

Yet if I try this against a UniFi Switch,

local command = io.popen("ssh -y -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key pi@192.168.102.144 'snmpget -r 1 -v1 -c public 192.168.102.7 iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.4' 2>&1")
local response = command:read("*a")
print(response)

it works fine.

iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.4 = Counter32: 29157590

Hummm..

[parkerc]

I tried an snmpwalk on the UniFi (USG) Router too,

'snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 192.168.102.1' 2>&1

and that timed out..

More digging is needed later, as all seem to have SNMP enabled..

[prophead]

@parkerc sounds like a permissions issue. Debug on command line before trying to script. I would also avoid use of the public access to snmp as it’s a potential security issue. I always setup private domain the proceedure differs by manufacturers. You can use snmpwalk for debugging then move to snmpget once you’re ready to drill down. Good luck.
