I think I'm going to rebuild my SiteMonitor Cacti template as indexed.
Then I can use the binary and analog Description columns as the index,
just like it works with the IF-MIB. So that no matter what order the
modules are in on the bus, everything is by description, so no worrying
about out of order modules from one base unit to another. That's the way
it should be done, but I'm lazy / have too many other things to do.

In cacti, we have one template for the SiteMonitor, and all the
subordinate devices are included in that template. So one IP per
SiteMonitor is perfect.

You can't set multiple IPs. NAT on a router in between your

I'm not sure how people are monitoring in powercode. Are you saying
you can't have multiple probes destined toward the same IP address?
How do they handle graphing say a 24 port switch with only 3-4 ports
in use?
If you have to create a 'probe' for each monitored device which lists
everything to be monitored, I think you're stuck with the idea of a
different type for each arrangement you have.

we are testing these currently for montoing/managing APC UPS and
providing cambium sync
We use powercode
First, is there a way to set multiple IP addresses on a
sitemonitor base unit? If that were possible it would resolve the
issue
Second, powercode monitoring is limited in its configuration, we
cant create our own real time tools and the long term probe
graphing requires a separate probe for each graph, no
categorization or packaging
so if we put in a sitemonitor that has both the APC add on module
as well ans the sync module, we dont have a clean way to create
monitoring tools
in this case to have versatility without having a bunch of unused
probes on each device we would have to create 4 separate device
types. Stand alone Site Monitor, Site Monitor with sync, site
monitor with APC monitor, site monitor with both, and then if we
have two sync modules that is another, etc.
Has anyone found a successful way of monitoring these? I really
want to use them, I have a pile of them to use, but I need to
monitor them in powercode
