Hi all,
We run a shop with basically two UPS vendors; APC and Leibert. The APC's only alert via syslog and the Leiberts use only traps. We receive email alerts, via syslog, telling us that a particular UPS has started a self test. We get thses only for the APC UPS'. Here's a copy of an aler thread.
- 2/25/2013 10:05 AM : Feb 25 10:05:31 x.x.x.x UPS: Started a self-test. 0x0137
- 2/25/2013 10:05 AM : Feb 25 10:05:31 x.x.x.x UPS: Started a self-test. 0x0137
- 2/25/2013 10:05 AM : Feb 25 10:05:47 x.x.x.x UPS: Passed a self-test. 0x0105
- 2/25/2013 10:05 AM : Feb 25 10:05:47 x.x.x.x UPS: Passed a self-test. 0x0105
These are four separate emails that come in. A few questions regarding these:
- Why don't I receive a "UPS: Failed a self-test" alert? We have had some UPS' with batteries that need to be replaced.
- I have looked in my server and cannot find where these particular alerts have been created/configured.
Thanks, in advance.
