That is why there are nice things like, "Test fails when exceeded" and "Logging Triggers".

If you wait to receive the trap you will always be right as long as the trap was received. I use the first condition and if the network is slow then the WUG server does not get a response to the mib query. therefore the answer does not equal my "up" value and returns a down condition. Not really a true down. I guess which one you use depends on the quality of your network and how right you have to be. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 3:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring options for APC UPS Hi, people. This may be a stupid question, but I'd be even stupider if I didn't ask it, and continued not to know....... What is the difference between allowing an SNMP trap (UPS on Battery/power restored) to notify of the battery condition and creating the SNMP monitoring entry below (upsbasicOutputStatus)??

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, Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring options for APC UPS 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. Jay. At 10:49 AM 3/12/2003 -0600, you wrote: 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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 11:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring options for APC UPS >>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?

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.) ------------------------------- Edgars Smilgzdruvs IT division, LMT PH: +371-9248674 |---------+-------------------------------------> | | "Garth Fish" | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | .com> | | | Sent by: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | pswitch.com | | | | | | | | | 12.03.2003 00:27 | | | Please respond to | | | WhatsUp_Forum | | | | |---------+-------------------------------------> > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------| | | | To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | cc: "Garth Fish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring options for APC UPS | > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------| Greetings and salutations!
