APC UPS - Updated

The attached is an updated application monitor for APC UPSs with management cards. This application is primary geared toward detecting common UPS problems. It is offered as an alternative to a previously uploaded application monitor which focuses more on power statistics.

The application monitor covers the following statistics, with the following thresholds configured out of the box.

  • Battery Capacity (as a percentage) - Warning < 50, Critical < 25
  • Battery Replacement Indicator (1=normal, 2=replace battery) - Warning >= 2
  • Battery Runtime Remaining (minutes) - Warning <=10, Critical <= 5
  • Battery Temperature (°C) - Warning >= 40, Critical >=42 (batteries at or above this temperature range are usually failing or failed, and are likely to swell and become difficult or impossible to remove from the UPS)
  • Output Load Percentage - Warning >= 75, Critical >= 90
  • Management Card Communication Status (2=management card not communicating with UPS) - Critical = 2
  • Self-Test (status of last test, 1=passed, 2=failed, 3=invalid test, 4=test in progress) - Warning = 3, Critical = 2
