Monit UPS email alert not working properly

[Meg]

Hello: I am trying to get an email alert when my Opnsense goes on UPS. I followed this tutorial (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23071.msg109726#msg109726) and when I check the status in monit it always shows status failed, but my Apcupsd status shows online. I also get the email that says failed but
the status never says Ok. Does anyone have another method that works or is it not working because I"m doing something wrong.
