NPM - Cisco Stack-Power Alerting

I'm trying and failing to find a way to set up an alert when one of the power supplies in a stack-power ring loses power. The frustrating thing is that the GUI is able to display these states, but I'm not able to figure out how to create an alert for them. Any ideas?

Normal state:

Warning/error state #1

Warning/error state #2

Have you tried the out of the box alert yet?

Yes, it's currently active and completely unbothered. I did try variations on this as well, with no luck:

I checked and my out of the box alert isn't working either. Checking into how to do this another way

I'm still looking. Noticed that there are some similar threads to this one so looks like you were not the first one to run across this. Asking my network guys if they can remove the power cable on one of our Test stacks so I can do some testing as we don't have any in a 'broke' condition to look at. Being that everyone is working remote it may take a few days before someone physically is on site to remove the cable for me. More to come.

I assume the device will log a syslog for this. You could just for now alert on the syslog message if the out-of-the-box alert doesn't work.

try setting the trigger of the Alert to

Power Mode has changed (Switch Stack Power Event) - Event must occur at least 1x

Details

then have a secondary section 'and'

switch stack power

The scope of alert:

All objects in my environment (Show List)
Only following set of objects

The actual trigger condition:

Available fields/events	Search


Data Aggregation:

Select Cancel

Trigger alert when

Switch Stack Power

is equal to

Power Sharing
Or

Switch Stack Power

is equal to

Power Sharing Strict

Sorry the formatting is rubbish, I dont seem to be able to add screenshots in here!

I will give that a try and report back. Thanks!
