Hi folks,
most of my APC UPS nodes have a battery instalation date, APC recomends that batteries over 60 months have to be checked. I need to be alerted when the instalation date is older than 60 months.
I have setup a custom poller that retrieves the date ok
I have setup an alert using a test date of 01/01/2008 that has a trigger like...
----------------------------------
"Vendor" is equal to "American Power Conversion Corp."
"Poller name" is equal to "upsBasicBatteryLastReplaceDate"
"Status" is less than "01/01/2008'
-----------------------------------
Now this doesn't trigger an alert and must be something to do with the less than statement. I can confirm the date received by the custom poller is 16/02/2005".
My main issue however is that I don't want to change the date every day, I want something that reads like....
"Status" of "upsBasicBatteryLastReplaceDate" is more than "60 months"
can anyone help or think of a better method?
thanks
Dave
