UPS battery alert when self-test

Troubleshooting

Hi,

so i did some troubleshooting with this plugin and i think the wording is correct, but it takes the wrong OID in the background. APC calls this TestDiagnostic and not Selftest in SNMP. Maybe that was misleading.

So i’ll forward this as a bug and it should fixed in the upcoming releases.

About the self-test:
We already consider the running self-test in the overall state of the service. But as dnLL pointed out the battery check is not included.

So here’s a question for all and especially the UPS Users. We have 4 options:

  • No change.
  • We ignore the configured battery thresholds while a self-test is running generally.
  • Adding an option/checkbox “Ignore battery threshold while self-test is running”.
  • Integrate another alternate battery level configuration for the time the self-test is running.

What would you prefer?

KR,
Max
