How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_ats_apc_snmp.pl \
--plugin=hardware::ats::apc::snmp::plugin \
--mode=device-status \
--hostname='10.0.0.1' \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='my-snmp-community' \
--component='' \
--verbose \
--use-new-perfdata

The expected command output is shown below:
