Description:

An estimate of the battery charge remaining expressed as a percent of full charge.

What is upsEstimatedChargeRemaining?

This OID shows what percentage of the battery in an uninterruptible power supply is currently charged. It estimates when the UPS will run out of power if mains electricity stays off. A data center operator would monitor this during a power failure to know how long systems can stay running—when it approaches zero, they need to shut down.

Examples

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing UPS-MIB 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 locate upsEstimatedChargeRemaining under the upsBattery branch of UPS-MIB, then select it and click OK. It reports the UPS's estimated battery charge remaining, as a percentage of full charge. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the charge remaining drops below 50%, giving you time to plan before the UPS runs out of runway during an extended outage. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
