UPS battery lifetime alert

[dwhitfield]

What do you mean that the replacement date was too old? Also, what do you mean in both cases? I thought the UPS GUI was showing it replaced.

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Additional Info:

SNMP CRITICAL - Battery LifeTime *60000*

I am very confused, that is polling an integer value.

after replacing the old batteries i logged into the UPS and changed the date to the replacement date but still getting the warning with the same values

Why do you expect changing a date on your appliance GUI is going to effect the OID value? Your alert is from that OID value, not on some date. If you expect that OID value to change after your process and it isn't, that is a question for your device manufacturer. Nagios can only act on the information it is given.

Looking at https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ad/details I can see that "Battery LifeTime" is actually upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0.

If you are looking for an alert as to when the batteries are needing replacement then this is not the correct OID. Is that what you are looking for?

this is what i mean about UPS GUI

i think i got you now, the nagios is pulling the results from the UPS so it need to be changed there
maybe i need to restart the UPS after changing batteries to make it send the right reading to nagios
right?

You are going to get a warning and critical for sure because this OID is for battery run time remaining.

sorry just found it at another folder

Code: Select all

# 'snmp_ups_stat' command definition
define command{
        command_name    snmp_ups_stat
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 -w 3 -c 4 -l 'Battery LifeTime'
        }

Below you gave us the alert and output of the OID. It returned a critical with 60000. That is telling you that there is 10 minutes of battery run time remaining.

Thank you for clarifying the OID's through this @tgrtjake!

@sa77if - let me know if you have any further questions.

so its not the battery lifetime that warn for replacing
its the one that warn for remaining charge
ok, how can raise the values to reduce warnings like that, because i am on AC its not important to have 10m or 5m

Yes, you'll need to change the -c and -w to something like this. Also, if I were you I'd change the name to Battery RunTime.

I think with your current setup being 10 min run time you would maybe want to warn at 5 mins and crit at 3 mins? 6000 = 1 min

Code: Select all

# 'snmp_ups_stat' command definition
define command{
        command_name    snmp_ups_stat
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 -w 30000 -c 18000 -l 'Battery RunTime'
        }

Sorry, edits for correct timings
