UPS statistics

I'd just create an alert for that value so you know when one of your UPSs starts returning that.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Steven. I swear when I was trying to figure this out, I must have checked every option EXCEPT for the "I want to alert on" drop-down. Duh!

So I have the alert working. Any insight on how to turn the node status to yellow or red based on this value?

You're very welcome. You can set a custom status on your node with the 'Set Custom Status' alert action. Just be careful with this one - if you don't set the node back to 'Use Polled Status' in your reset action it'll just sit there in a down status forever until you manually reset it on the node details page (or another one of these alerts comes along).

Ok, I've added that to the alert, but I receive this error:

I assume this is because it is alerting on a custom poller and not on a node, so the node itself isn't actually triggering the alert. The only other option in the "Affected Node" drop-down is to select a specific node, which would be fine if we only had one UPS to monitor...

Hm, I would have thought it would have resolved the custom poller to its associated node before trying to run that action but apparently not. The only other alternative I can think of would be to have a PowerShell script that effects that change in the node's status but I don't believe that would have the same permanent-until-set-to-polled-status behavior.

aLTeReGo - any thoughts on this one?
