CLI alarmcount on PDU

[scao]

after login to the PDU AP8800 series, the commend "alarmcount" will display the number of alarms if exist, is there a corresponding SNMP object that can provide the same info, example:

apc>alarmcount

E000: Success

AlarmCount: 1

thanks,

Hello,

There is an alarm list command that displays all alarm appeared in the unit through CLI as per the below

Access: Super User, Administrator, Device User

Description: Displays alarms present on the device (or another device in the group if NPS is used.) Parameters: None.

Example: To view all active warning alarms,

type: apc> alarmList -----Device Alarm Status------------------- 1 Critical Alarm Present. ------------------------------------------- [Critical] rack PDU 1: Internal power supply #2 fault, unde voltage. - Exit, - Refresh Error Message: E102''

all CLI commands are available in the below manual

I was asking if the alarm count can be obtained by SNMP, basically, a SNMP query will return indicating if there is an alarm of any kind,

Thanks,

Hello,

The Rpdu can reports any raised alarms using the SNMP traps to any third party SNMP server ,you can just only enable the SNMP protocol whether it is V1 or V3 from the NMC and Rpdu will start to send traps based on events that raised from the OIDs

Thanks Karim, I understand your suggestions, but we are looking specifically for SNMP query for the alarms (either exist or none),

Hello,

Yes,it exists ,we had our monitoring software Data center expert which can discover all APC devices using SNMP V1 or V3 as an example

and detect and display all alarms that raised by the APC devices including Rpdu in the server view dashboard and able to read and write data using SNMP
