Alerts for an APC UPS
I want to generate alerts from our APC UPS. Mostly I want to be alerted it if goes onto battery backup power or if the battery needs replacing. Are these alertable? If so, does anyone have any example alert checkers they could share?
Cheers,
Tim

This will also alert on a battery test unfortunately ;-)

Thanks for the reply. I've made a checker that matches yours, but it doesn't appear to match any devices:

My UPS is a SmartUPS 2200 with a network management card and I'm using SNMP v1 to get data from it. Do I need to use v3?

Ehh, if it's recognized as an APC device, "os is apc" should match.

My mistake - I hadn't set it to check the "status" entity. Now it works. Thanks!
Is there an easy way to find out what other tests are possible?
