yes, i have it (you actually responded to one of my post ), thanks a lot!
my problem was this thing with self metrics (i cannot imagine how such a
small thing did not cross my mind!!!)

yes, it is APC. Thanks for the script! ( a lot more organized than mine:) )
but i would have a few questions:
1. given tmax of 600 , do you have the cron job at 600 seconds?
2. the T is used to see if the ups is down i imagine.. but why are you
interested in collecting the ping time?
(i chosen to ignore failed devices with -r 1 -t 0.5; also given the
delay of snmpget i take all the list of vars with a single snmpget,
redirect in a file and format the variables from the file)
Thanks a lot for help!!
