Alert check config for a UPS "Status" entry
We'd like to alert when any of our APC UPS'es output status is not "online"
I see an alert check type is "status" but I'm not sure what to use for the other settings.
Right now we have a UPS in hardware bypass due to a bad inverter (ugh) and the status entry says "event alert, status hardwareFailureBypass".
Any tips?

You can alert when the value does not equal 2 (from the looks of it)

Looks like I could, although rather than guessing random numbers it would be nice if I could reference the statues such as "*hardwareFailureBypass"*

I guess your MIB file can tell you.

I'd just alert on "status_event notequals up" to catch all fail states, unless you really want separate checkers/contacts depending on what's wrong with the thing :)

Thanks Tom, that might be the smartest idea.

It may also be interesting to set an alert to trigger after some long amount of time (12 hours?) of the battery capacity being < 95% (or something reasonable).
It looks like this UPS charged the battery about 50% after a multi hour power failure and then the charger/inverter went into some internal fault and the unit switched to bypass.
