RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring options for APC UPS

1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0 upsBasicOutputStatus

online = 2

onbattery = 3

you may also want to check the hardware version on the ups itself. An older version my not support all the mib values.

well I dug into the MIBs to get some good oid's to monitor. I can't find one that explicitly tells me that it's on line or battery power, but I did find a "TimeOnBattery" oid, and when polled it returns a 0, probably indicating that it's NOT on battery.

But when I create an SNMP service monitor in WUG to monitor this MIB it fails/doesn't work.... (I have another monitor I created for the "ReplaceBattery" OID and that seems to work fine), so now I ned help in understanding the debug log of my SNMPMON

it says:

Check Complete (-1) ups1 : 01: APCTimeOnBattery

I'm assuming the -1 means that it failed, but how can I narrow down what failed, did it get a value back? is the 01 the value it returned? When I browse it via a separate mib browser it always returns a 0. The value of this oid is listed as TimeTicks, could that be screing something up in WUG?

Thanks for any help,

One of the variables you will be interested in is the results of the self-test. The box will do a self test every two weeks (default, can be set to one week or off). If the self-test fails,
you'll want to be taking action soon, preferably before the next self test or a power outage.

there are a few different mibs that can be looked at depending on what you really want to know.

There is upsBasicBatteryStatus - with 3 variables, unknown, normal or low
upsBasicOutputStatus -which tells you the current state of the UPS

I would suggest printing out the powernet.mib and picking the one(s) that fit your needs

>>BatteryStatus 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.1.1.0 (UP if =2)

Not wanting to dig into the MIB, what exactly does this mean?

does it mean if the value is = 2 then the UPS in on 'line' power, and any other value means that the UPS is on 'Battery' Power?

As you can tell, I want a way to monitor whether the powere supplying the UPS is ON or OFF.

Hi!

First of all you must have a network card for you APC UPS ;)
Then you can monitor ICMP (is the UPS still alive) and a lot of SNMP
values.

We monitor:
BatteryNeededReplacement 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.4.0 (UP if =1)
BatteryStatus 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.1.1.0 (UP if =2)
InputVoltage 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.3.2.1.0 (between 210 and 250 volts is
ok)

There are additional values to monitor, for ex. internal temperature, look
in APC MIB base
(SNMP MIB base is included into your APC CD or is available from www.)

Greetings and salutations!

I am new to the realm of What's Up Gold monitoring. We are just in the
early stages of development for the monitoring of all our servers and ups'.
My question is, what monitoring options via WUG are available to me for an
APC smart UPS? Thank you in advance.
