true, however, if you want to know if you are online or onbattery, i believe that is the only OID that tells that. You are correct, that, how much battery life is left is also important as well as others.

Battery condition, to me, refers to the charge holding ability of the battery. As anyone using UPS's knows, batteries go bad way too often. It's probable you will have a situation where your battery(s) fail and you won't know it because you haven't lost input power to the UPS yet. Off the top of my head I don't know what OID you would use to monitor the UPS's diagnostic routines but it seems to me that just looking at "upsbasicOutputStatus" is not sufficient. kj At 03:04 PM 3/12/2003 -0500, you wrote: >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)?? > >Chris Powers >Systems Engineer >MCSE, CNA, Network+, A+ >Keane IT Technical Services >(617) 517-1730 Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
