Will Host Monitor include test methods for the following data?
-From an APC UPS
- UPS voltage
- UPS % Load
- UPS Est. run time

-From an APC Netbotz
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Door Switch

Thanks

As I know, such devices support SNMP protocol.
So, you may use SNMP Get test method:

E.g. for APC UPS:
1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1.0 - upsAdvOutputFrequency
1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.1.0 - upsAdvOutputVoltage
etc.

I think, you should download MIB files for mentioned devices from vendor's site and use MIB Browser to prepare particular tests.

Thanks,

I know I can use SNMP tests, I just liked the Temperature Monitor test method layout.

Temperature Monitor test method was implemented because old devices from Sensatronics did not support SNMP protocol.
But I do not see a reason to implement separate test methods for simple SNMP Get operations. This way we should implement thousands of test methods...
However I see a reason to improvements of SNMP Get test method, e.g. posibility to read several objects in one test.
