Description: APC/Schneider UPS management including battery status, output load, and estimated runtime.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is APCUPS-MIB?

APCUPS-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module from APC (American Power Conversion, now Schneider Electric) for managing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices. It exposes identification data (manufacturer, product, firmware version, serial number) alongside power-chain status such as battery condition, output load, and installation/verification state. It is heavily used for monitoring hardware health of the UPS itself, particularly battery status and runtime/verification data that indicate whether the unit is operating normally or needs service. It is largely self-contained, relying only on generic SNMPv2-SMI conventions rather than other standard MIBs. It is typically deployed on APC UPS units with SNMP network management cards in data centers and server rooms, where polling the APC UPS MIB gives early warning of power failures or battery degradation.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in APCUPS-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • APC/Schneider Electric UPS
  • UPS SNMP network management card

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll a1Manufacturer, a1Product, a1Version, and a1SerialNumber to confirm which UPS model is deployed and its firmware revision. Monitoring a2BatteryStatus under the tUpsBattery/eUpsBattery structure reveals whether the battery is normal, low, or needs replacement, letting ops teams schedule battery swaps before a power event causes an outage. a1Installation and a1Verify are also polled to confirm the unit was configured and self-tested correctly.

What Can Be Monitored

  • battery status
  • manufacturer/product identity
  • firmware/software version
  • serial number
  • installation/verification state
