Testing UM-Agent

After installation, it is important to check that UM-Agent communicates with the UPS and responds to SNMP requests.

Basic test:

You have installed UM-Console on the same computer as UM-Agent. The modules installed are run automatically, wait for a few minutes then configure UM-Console check on UM Console that the DB9 connector icon is green and that UPS information is correctly displayed. This test shows that UM-Agent is operating correctly.

If DB9 connector icon remains red, check the UPS connection . If this is not sufficient, perform the advanced tests and check UM-Console configuration

Advanced tests:

for the test purpose, you can start UM-Agent in verbose mode and analyze the messages obtained.

• to test the IP communication from another computer, enter:
  ping < UM-Agent IP address> .
• to test the SNMP communication from a computer where you have installed UM-Client, go to the directory where UM-Client is installed and enter:
  ./snmpm [</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent IP Address > 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
  and you will obtain the references of the SNMP agent . Otherwise, check that TCP/IP and the SNMP agent have been activated
  ./snmpm [</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent IP address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.1.1.0
  and you will obtain the UPS family name (« Pulsar » for example). Otherwise, check UPS/agent communication.
