I don't have Devmon installed and I would, if at all possible, prefer to avoid SNMP.

We use Liebert/Emmerson UPS here, (GXT2, NPower, and NFinity) and I monitor about 130 UPS. I use MRTG, configured with a template, to poll the boxes. bbmrtg.pl imports the data into hobbit. I am alarmed on:

1. Load on battery
2. UPS switched to Bypass
3. Battery less than 60 minutes (yellow) or 30 minutes (red)
4. Current draw within 10% of rated max
5. Input voltage more than 15% below nominal (brown-out) or 15% above nominal.
6. frequency off by more than 1Hz
7. UPS inaccessible (ping)

I can't fathom a way to monitor that without snmp.
