Testing Failed Self test Trap

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

I am trying to test my monitoring server to ensure it is receiving failed self-test from a smartup 750.

What is the best way to force a failed selftest? I tried unpluggin the battery but the self-test would not run.

Hi,

That data point is read only

Name: upsAdvBatteryReplaceIndicator
Oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.4
Module: PowerNet-MIB
Usage: Object
Type: Dart.Snmp.SimpleType.Integer
Syntax: Integer { noBatteryNeedsReplacing (1), batteryNeedsReplacing (2) }
Access: ReadOnly
Status: Mandatory
Description: Indicates whether the UPS batteries need replacing.

If the battery is bad i.e. fails self test the flag will be changed to 2. When the battery is good the flag is set to 1.
