OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1356.1.5.1

What is upsRunTest?

This read-write value initiates a specific UPS self-test when set to one of batteryTest, batteryCustomTest, batteryFullTest, or selfTest, or cancels/does nothing when set to noTest(0). An admin sets it to proactively verify the UPS and battery are functioning correctly rather than waiting to discover a failure during an actual outage. For example, setting this to batteryFullTest(3) runs a complete battery discharge test to validate the unit's true backup runtime.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1356.1.5.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UPSMAN::upsRunTest

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1356.1.5.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UPSMAN::upsRunTest.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1356.1.5.1.1 i <value>
