Power Supply

The Power Supply monitor checks manufacturer-specific power supplies devices to see if they are enabled and returning values signaling they are in an Up state.

First, the monitor first checks if the monitored device is manufactured by Dell, Cisco, HP, or EMC. Then, it checks for any enabled power supply devices. If a power supply is disabled, the monitor ignores it. If a power supply does not return one of the following values, the monitor is considered Down.

1 - Normal (for Cisco switches/routers)
1 - OK (for Dell switches/routers)
2 - OK (for HP ProLiant servers)
3 - OK (for Dell server devices)
4 - Good (for HP ProCurve switches/routers)

Note: Not all types of power supply devices can be monitored.

Only a unique name and description are required to successfully configure this monitor, though you can set the timeout and number of retries as well as enable Use in Rescan if desired.
