Category: UPS and Power Management

Description: Monitors UPS system battery charge level, output load, input voltage, and power failure event status.

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 XUPS-MIB?

The XUPS-MIB is a vendor MIB, associated with Powerware/Eaton-branded UPS systems based on its object naming, for monitoring uninterruptible power supply units. It exposes device identity (manufacturer, model, software version), battery status (time remaining, voltage, current, capacity, advanced battery management status), and input power quality (line frequency, bad-line event counts, number of phases). Its core purpose is hardware status monitoring: battery health and charge level, input power-quality/failure events, and firmware version identification, all central to anticipating an impending power outage impact or a failing battery. It largely stands alone as a vendor MIB, though it conceptually parallels the objects modeled in the standardized IETF UPS-MIB (RFC 1628). It is deployed wherever these UPS units protect servers, network equipment, or other critical infrastructure, with XUPS-MIB SNMP monitoring polled by facilities/IT teams for power-continuity alerts.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XUPS-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

  • UPS (uninterruptible power supply) unit, e.g., Powerware/Eaton-branded

Monitoring Examples

xupsBatTimeRemaining and xupsBatCapacity let an operator watch how much runtime and charge percentage remain on the UPS battery, flagging a unit whose remaining time drops below a safe threshold during an outage. xupsInputLineBads counts input line quality events, so a rising count would indicate unstable utility power causing the UPS to engage more frequently, while xupsIdentSoftwareVersion confirms the UPS firmware version for compliance and patch tracking.

What Can Be Monitored

  • battery time remaining
  • battery voltage/current/capacity
  • battery ABM (advanced battery management) status
  • input line frequency
  • input line quality/bad-line events
  • UPS firmware/software version
