Hi there, We monitor APC pdu's here and have set up the following metrics:

41 PDU SENSOR ALARM notification of a warning/alert/down event on sensor

sensor_event eq warning sensor_event eq alert sensor_event eq down

type match power

*

This then picks up on all the sensors on that device: power banks 1 and 2 , power supply and voltage.

Then if you go into the the node, click settings and then "sensor" you can manually set the min/ max for each one . once this hits it will alarm!

Hope this helps

How do I make an alert for power where it alerts me if my amperage (current) is over 80%. For me that would be about 11 AMPs on my UPS.
