What is numAlarmsPresent?

This gauge reports how many alarm conditions are currently active on the Eaton power device at the moment it's polled. An administrator watches this value to get an at-a-glance health check -- a nonzero count means something needs attention in the active-alarms table, while zero means the device is currently alarm-free. For example, a UPS experiencing both a high-temperature warning and a battery fault simultaneously would report this value as 2.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Eaton Power Xpert Gateway (PXG) card / UPS and power distribution equipment as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type numAlarmsPresent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The present number of active alarm conditions. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
