It can, but when I tried it generated alerts during every discovery cycle.

The APC would treat the polling as a logon attempt and then report a logon failure.

You'll need to import the APC MIBs into HPSIM.

If you don't want these "Detected an unauthorized user attempting to access..." during HP SIM discovery cycles, you maybe want to disable the Authentication Traps on the APC Management Card.

A more granular event configuration can also be done with "Detailed Event Action Configuration" on the APC Web interface.

I have not had much luck doing this. I had the Mibs imported and everything set up, but the alerts Sims sent were just to many to handle, and some were uneccesary. I use APC Power Chute Business edition to manage our ups'.
