Can I see in a DCE report the date of the latest UPS self-test?

Hi Anett,
I checked out one of my UPS units and there does not seem to be a self test date sensor in DCE. That being said, you'll only be able to see in your report when the value was queried....every minute, 10 minutes, etc. I would normally suggest that any value not available in the standard DDF could be implemented using supplemental OIDs however this feature only works with numeric values and won't work with dates.
You can see here that I made 2 supplimental OIDs and the date which should read like this:
Looks like this (001_self test date) in DCE:
I don't see how you'll be able to tell when each test was run unless you pull the logs from the unit itself. You will be able to tell when the status changes so if one of these values changed from OK to something else, you will be able to tell when it went bad:
Additionally, the frequency is set on the device:
Thanks,
Steve
