I have been monitoring the APC UPS's on my network. I have an alarm that alerts me when the battery needs replacing. However, I've noticed that there are APC's with bad batteries where I did not receive any alarms. I discovered that I get alerts when the "battery needs to be replaced" alarm on the UPS is triggered, but not when the "battery disconnected" condition exists. Does anyone know if there's an OID for this? Thank you.

I use the Universal Device Poller Status resource for a quick way to see the polled values of these and other pollers.
I also have my APCs send traps. I use the following to trigger an email: SNMPv2TrapOID = PowerNet-MIB:apc.0.17 for bad batteries.
Battery not properly installed is PowerNet-MIB:apc.0.80

Note, My UnDP is called "upsBasicBatteryStatus"

I took this portion, grabbed the OID I needed to create an alert for when a unit went onto battery power per customer request. THANKS!!!! Using the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1, I created the UNDP and then an alert that will trigger when the output is "3"
Just wanted to say thanks smartd
