I actually have a few C programs that can be used to query any values you want from a Morningstar with ethernet. I use them to feed MRTG with the actual voltages and currents through my Morningstars. One less piece of hardware and one less cable to deal with and one less voltage vampire on my solar sites...

if you hook up a packetflux to the serial port than you can get
everything you could ever want to monitor via SNMP.  The built in SNMP
is pretty limited.

here's a screenshot of the packetflux web interface, all these values
can be obtained via SNMP.

    Any chance you could snmpwalk one starting from the root OID,
    numeric, and copy/paste the results back to the mailing list?  I'm
    curious what it exposes.

        We use Morningstar tri-star controllers.  They have a web
        interface and snmp support via an Ethernet connection.  You can
        also hook up to the serial port a packetflux module designed for
        the Morningstar controllers.

            Is there anything new on the market in the last 2 years or
            so that speaks SNMP over IP and Ethernet?

            Specifically I'm trying to figure out how to integrate
            OpenNMS and Cacti with OIDs for integer values like charging
            amperage, input current from PV, current battery string
            voltage, etc. Temperature monitoring would be nice too.
