APC MIB - flags question

EverestM

I'm trying to pull information from an APC UPS, specifically weather or not the UPS is on battery power. It seems the only way to pull this information is from the upsBasicStateOutputState, which is a string of 64 flags, one of which is "on battery" (flag 4)

I can't seem to figure out how to configure Orion to read these flags -- the enumeration option will let me map various values, but not individual bits...

Is this possible? Am I missing something?

Can I suggest using the following SNMP information?

Monitor Name APC UPS :: Basic Output Status (On-line)

SNMP Object Type upsBasicOutputStatus

OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0

Returns The current state of the UPS:

1 = Unknown
2 = On Line
3 = On Battery
4 = On Smart Boost
5 = Timed Sleeping
6 = Software Bypass
7 = Off
8 = Rebooting
9 = Switched Bypass
10 = Hardware Failure Bypass
11 = Sleeping Until Power Returns
12 = On Smart Trim

Monitoring Condition Pass if equal to 2

Monitor failure indicates that the UPS is not supplying line voltage to any attached devices.

No one has run into this? Is there perhaps a different way to pull the "on battery" etc. information from an APC UPS someone else is using?

I'm using this OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1

The enumeration shows 12 values. When I run the test on the OID it displays the raw value of 2 which should be online but when I look on the web page it shows "no data"

I'm using 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1 - AdvBatteryCapacity

value shows 100

OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1
Type Gauge
Units
Access read-only
Status mandatory

The remaining battery capacity expressed in percent of full capacity.

Everest and TRM, set the MIB value type to 'raw' and the type to 'enumeration' and it should work. All my UPS are showing a value of 'online(2)'.

Thanks putting the .0 at the end and using "USE SNMP Get Request" worked

Thanks Again

Thanks - while if I run into another MIB which uses flags I'll have the same problem, the MIB you suggested works like a charm.

Thanks again.
