description:
 Monitors a single serial port on a Vertiv Avocent ACS 8000 console
 server. Each row of acsSerialPortTable ({.1.3.6.1.4.1.10418.26.2.3.2.1.*})
 becomes one service.

 The check reports:
  - the connection state from column 23 (default mapping: 1 = active,
    2 = idle, both treated as OK)
  - the configured baud rate, tty device name and port ID (details only)
  - the TX and RX byte rates derived from the cumulative byte counters in
    columns 16 and 17

 Upper levels for TX and RX byte rates as well as the mapping of the raw
 connection-state values can be configured via the WATO ruleset
 {Vertiv ACS serial port}.

 The service item is the port alias from column 4 if set; otherwise it
 falls back to {Port <portID>}.

 Performance data:
  - {tx_bytes_rate} (transmit rate in bytes per second)
  - {rx_bytes_rate} (receive rate in bytes per second)

inventory:
 One service per discovered serial port is created.
