upsBatteryLifeTimeRemaining

Module: UPSMAN

OID (symbolic): UPSMAN::upsBatteryLifeTimeRemaining

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1356.1.2.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Forecast of the battery lifetime, replacement recommended in x month. Format: month

What is upsBatteryLifeTimeRemaining?

This read-only value, in months, forecasts how much longer the UPS battery is expected to last before replacement is recommended. An admin uses it for proactive maintenance planning, scheduling a battery swap before it actually fails. For example, a value of 2 tells the admin to order and schedule a replacement battery within the next couple of months.

Start monitoring Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit (battery capacity/input-line/output-load status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the UPSMAN::upsBatteryLifeTimeRemaining OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit (battery capacity/input-line/output-load status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit (battery capacity/input-line/output-load status) 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 upsBatteryLifeTimeRemaining into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the forecast of the battery lifetime, replacement recommended in x month. 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 forecasted months remaining drops to 3 or fewer, since that means the battery is approaching the end of its service life and replacement should be scheduled. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
