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.

POWERMAN-PDU(8) 						    NUT Manual							   POWERMAN-PDU(8)

NAME
powerman-pdu - Driver for Powerman PDU SYNOPSIS
powerman-pdu -h powerman-pdu -a PDU_NAME [OPTIONS] Note This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the powerman-pdu driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8). SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports a wide range of PDUs through the Powerman project. This includes various models from APC, Baytech, Cyclades, but also support IPMI and various blade management modules from HP, IBM and Sun. EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver doesn't support any optional settings. INSTALLATION
This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using "configure --with-powerman=yes". UPS COMMANDS
The following instant commands (see upscmd(8)) are available for each outlet of the PDU, with X standing for the outlet number: outlet.X.load.on Power on the outlet. outlet.X.load.off Power off the outlet. outlet.X.load.cycle Cycle the outlet (power off then power on, possibly with a delay). IMPLEMENTATION
The hostname of the Powerman server is specified using the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.: [pdu] driver = powerman-pdu port = host.example.com:port The port used to reach powermand is optional if the default port is used. KNOWN ISSUES
In the current NUT version (2.4.1), ups.status is still exposed, with the value "WAIT". Some other values from the ups collection are also exposed. AUTHOR
