Monitor a Tripp Lite PDU over SNMP (PDU/PDUMH network card)

Tripp Lite's network-enabled PDUs use a similar SNMP model to APC's, with their own MIB for per-outlet and per-bank load.

What you'll need

  • A Tripp Lite network-managed PDU
  • Administrator access to the PDU's web interface
1

Enable SNMP access

In the PDU's web interface, go to System Configuration > SNMP and turn on access, setting the community string or SNMPv3 credentials.

2

Note the bank vs. outlet distinction

Larger Tripp Lite PDUs report load at both the bank level (a group of outlets on one breaker) and the individual outlet level; decide which granularity you actually need before onboarding, since polling every outlet on a 48-outlet unit is a lot of data points.

3

Add the PDU in Linivo

Linivo's Tripp Lite profile polls bank-level load by default; enable per-outlet metrics under the device's settings if you need to trace draw down to a specific plugged-in server.
