Last self-test time and success/failiure stored inside the UPS?

[Anonymous user]

I am using the agent and website interface to look at the UPS (Smart UPS 1500).
I can see a few live statistics from the UPS (such as load) but it doesn't seem to
read the self-test history from the UPS. It only remembers the last self-test I ran
from the agent. That was several months ago--the UPS is scheduled to do its
own self-test every two weeks.

So, do I need to reinstall the server and other complicated pieces of software to read
this information? I'm pretty sure I remember the smart ups does record whether
it passed the last self-test and the timestamp. I just can't figure out how to read it.

Todd,

You can install only the agent and access it via the machine's IP address and port 3052.

There is a Battery Test Result field in the EEPROM data, but unforatunately, that information is proprietary to APC so I will not be able to release it to you.

It does not store the last date, just the last result.
