I am trying to set up an advanced alert to notify me when upsSecondsOnBattery is NOT equal to 0. I have set up a UnDP for upsSecondsOnBattery. Is the following correct?
Are you trying to determine if a UPS is actively using the battery? What you have looks correct, though I'm not sure that I have used that particular MIB. Here is what I have. Note I have a few different vendors of UPS equipment. Also I have a custom property that tells me if it is a critical UPS or just some small ups that I don't need an alert on. Hope this helps.
Yes, I assume that the UPS has lost input power if the upsSecondsOnBattery is greater than 0. I would have preferred to be able to pick the value of the UnDP but that was as close as I could guess.
What brand of UPS do you have? My ups systems support a undp that states the input source. For APC, you'll want to browse for a mib called upsBasicOutputStatus (1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1). A value of 1 is unknown. A value of 2 is Online and a value of 3 is battery. I usually map the values and then use Value. It's a little more friendly and it's treated as a string. Tripplite has a similar mib, but I don't know the oid of the top of my head.
