Power monitoring and logging with Apcupsd and Cacti

09-04-2008 11:00 AM
For some time I have been using the American Power Conversion (APC) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) daemon Apcupsd to interface my desktop computer with my APC Back-UPS ES 550. Available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Solaris 10, Apcupsd reliably warns me when the power goes out and gives me time to get my box properly shut down before data is lost, or does so automatically if I am not there to supervise.

NAME

       powernet - Driver for APC SNMP UPS equiment

NOTE

       This  man  page	only  documents the hardware-specific features of the powernet driver.	For information about the core driver, see nutups-
       drv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       APC AP9606 APC Web/SNMP management card, perhaps others

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

       This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5):

       community=value
	      SNMP community to use (default = public)

       sdtype=value
	      Shutdown type to use - possible values:

	      0 = Soft shutdown or powerdown, depending on line status (default)

	      1 = Soft shutdown followed by powerdown

	      2 = Instant shutdown

	      3 = Shutdown with grace period

REQUIREMENTS

       You will need to install the Net-SNMP package from http://www.net-snmp.org/ before building this driver.

INSTALLATION

       This driver is not built by default.  You can build it by using "configure --with-drivers=powernet" before calling make.

IMPLEMENTATION

       The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:

	    [ap9606]
		 driver = powernet
		 port = apc-snmp-ups.example.com
		 community = writable
