windows power assist 8210 > ups_exporter parses for prometheus 8000 > promethues.yml scrapes 8000

On the Windows server install the Vertiv Power Assist:

https://www.vertiv.com/en-us/support/software-download/software/vertiv-power-assist-software-download/

Once installed verify the metrics are displayed:

https://[server]:8210/api/PowerAssist

Either create a new certificate for Power Assist or trust it on the Grafana/Prometheus server or by pass SSL.

Pull the ups_exporter.py

Make executable:

chmod +x ups_exporter.py

Edit and change the line to match your server running Power Assist:

response = requests.get("https://<server_name>:8210/api/PowerAssist", verify=False)

Create a VENV for python3

python3 -m venv vertiv source vertiv/bin/activate python3 pip3 install requests prometheus_client python3 ./ups_exporter.py

Make sure the script ran

http://[prometheus_server]:8000

Make the script a service:

1. Create a systemd Service File Git the service file and copy to /etc/systemd/system/ups_exporter.service
2. Reload systemd and Enable the Service sudo systemctl daemon-reexec sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable ups_exporter.service
3. Start the Service sudo systemctl start ups_exporter.service
4. Check Status and Logs sudo systemctl status ups_exporter.service journalctl -u ups_exporter.service -f

Create the Prometheus scrape:

• job_name: 'ups_metrics' scrape_interval: 1m # Scrape every minute metrics_path: '/metrics' # Specify the metrics endpoint path static_configs:
  • targets:
    • '[prometheus_server]:8000' # Corrected: removed /metrics from target

Verify that Prometheus is scraping correctly:
