You got the first and hardest part done by identifying the OID. To set alerts for the status change on the power supply you will need to create an alert. Create an alert for the status change of the power supply using your UnDP. When creating the alert in the trigger condition tab there is a drop down for type of property to monitor. Here you can select your UnDP you created and modify your alert accordingly. This will help get you started. If this helped - please verify this as an answer.

Bret:

Thank-you very much for replying.

But that is just it. Under the trigger condition, I have chosen Custom Node Poller and the condition that I test for is Numeric Status is not equal to 1 (Not Normal).

The problem that I have is in the message of the alert. What variable do I use to list out the Power supply that is having the problem?

If you need more information, please let me know. And again, thanx for your reply.

In your trigger action. in my example I used this variable in email. Try using something like this On ${DateTime} the cluster status changed for ${NodeName} too ${CustomPollerStatus.Status}. For the subject you can possibly use this ${NodeName} triggered cluster status change. I use these variables for my Check Point Firewalls when they change their member modes, so you will need to curtail it to your scenario.  You may have to mess around with it a little before you get it right, but the context will be very similar. Also using the Insert Variable for ideas and with trial and error should give the results you are looking for.

The table below and alerts to go with are available for download from the user community.  I uploaded them a long time ago.  Let me see if I can find them

Power Supply Status

Also some useful Temperature and Fan Status

Temperature Readings

Reaching threshold will shutdown device

Can't find my upload but here is another users for power status and alerts

Temperature Poller and alert(alert link in the comments)

Always best to search the Content Exchange first.  try it for the Cisco Fan Status.

I apoligize for not responding sooner, but I had a few emergencies that had to be taken care of.

Thank-you very much for responding to my post.

I just have one more question with regards to the power alerting.

I would like the output in the email/alert to look very similar to the output that you posted above.

What variable would you use for the 'ciscoEnvMonSupplyStateTable' so that the output would indicate which power supply, and which variable would you use for the 'LabelciscoEnvMonSupplyStateTable'?

I would like the alert to have these variables printed on separate lines for each power supply, if possible. Instead of the first line saying something like 'Power Supply 1... Power Supply 2...' and the next line saying something like 'normal normal'

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

pyro13g:

Again thank-you very much for the information. It helped quite a bit.

And, as I just posted with regards to power; Is there a way, in the alert, to have the the alert formatted very much like you have it shown above for Fan Status?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. As always, TIA for any help.

pyro13g:

Forgot to mention one other thing.

A lot of our switches 4507s, 6509s, 6513s, etc. have larger power supplies such as 6000W power supplies. Each power supply has two 220V plugs. Is there a way to monitor and/or alert when there is an issue with one of the plugs? And if so what OID/Alert variable would you use?

I have checked the Content Exchange and Forum sections but have not come up with anything. All I have been able to find is with the power supplies themselves.

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
