UPS ALARM

[BillP]

I keep getting this alarm on my network : "PowerNet-MIB:upsBasicBatteryTimeOnBattery is Up". UPS is Symmetra PX 100kVA, runnuing with 6 power modules.
What does it mean?
thank you

This OID is described as The elapsed time since the UPS has switched to battery power.

Is the UPS switching back and forth to and from battery power? You may want to check the network management card event log to start and see what types of events are being logged too.

Thank you Angela,

could you explain me what would be the reasons for the UPS to generate these alerts?

my understanding is that this is an SNMP OID that you can 'get' and monitor to see the elapsed time the UPS is running on battery incase you were curious during a power failure. it sounds like yours is coming in a trap (alert) form though. are you able to provide the full alert, if there is any additional data in it? do you know are polling this OID every so often?

[BillP]

Thank you. for now, that is all I have. I shall let you.

Regards,
Mihail

Hello Angela,
I got my answer; somebody went and enable all the OID's without necessary understanding if it will be a usefulo info or not. I got the same alert on my BB coming from a Liebert BX 30kVA, from the same room.

Happy new year.
