Hello all, I haven't been working with Solarwinds for very long, only a few months. In that time I've managed to piece together this little dashboard that allows me to monitor reported battery capacity and reported runtime on APC and Eaton UPS within our environment. Here's a photo of the dashboard. What I'd like to…
I'm trying to just get the status of a UPS. Is it on battery or not. I did a mib walk of one of the UPSes from the server and the text output shows this line among the many OIDs ".1.3.6.1.4.1.850.1.3.4.1.1.3.1.7 = STRING: "On Battery" " When I run the test while creating a Universal Poller the result is that all the fields…
There is a poller that returns a 64 character string (APC's upsBasicStateOutputState). Each each individual digit represents a different flag condition (I have included the first few below). This means that if the string is "00011..." It would signify that the battery needs to be replaced and that the device is On Line. I…
I'm trying to configure an alert using the upsBasicStateOutputState poller with the Custom Numeric Value field so when the value is not equal to 0001010000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, it sends out an alert. However, the text box will not accept this number and gives an error, "Value is invalid.…
Merlin Gerin/Eaton devices were acquired by APC and are basically the same as an APC device. Not 100%, but mostly. So I'd like to see them have the same UPS backup monitoring such as APC's have. Can we please get to that feature parity? I can see this being a more simple/general concept in line with
Hi Everyone, With the release of 2018.2, APC UPS monitoring is now natively supported. I have been trying to figure out why some of my APC UPS units are reporting correctly, and others are not. I am referring to the Power Control Unit Status section of node details, SNMP is functioning but returned unknown status' for a…
I have various UPS devices all over the world and would love to have the same visibility into their status as you provide for the APC devices. Currently we have many Phoenixtec Power/XPC that I have created a Universal Poller for and it pulls most of the same information that the APC Universal Poller did. However, it is…
Hello, I am trying to figure out the effective reset trigger for my UPS APC alerts which will give me exact time of UPS on battery. Currently it is set to ${N=Alerting,M=Downtime} minutes which always gives me an output of 0 minutes. Trigger action is set to look for UPStimeonbattery variable. Any help will be appreciated.…
Hello. I'm trying to setup a monitoring dashboard for when a UPS goes on battery power. In the data source picker I've selected Dynamic Query Builder and advanced selector. Reporting on a node with the following conditions: OID is equal to 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1 (UPS Status) Current numeric value is equal to 3 (On…
Looking to find the values associated via SNMPv2 with an APC Battery Raw Data under Main Frame to be able to report on individual battery module 'Current Usable Watt/Hours'. Reason being, our facilities guys that manage these said they would like a more proactive way to know the values specific to the 'individual' battery…
