Found it:

...
[pid 20933] write(1, "get_var: UPS at localhost / status\n", 32get_var: 
UPS at localhost / status
) = 32
[pid 20933] write(3, "GET VAR UPS ups.status\n", 23) = 23
[pid 20933] read(3, "E", 1)             = 1
[pid 20933] read(3, "R", 1)             = 1
...

Next puzzle is to find out why "ups.status" is not supported.
