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
apcsmart - Driver for American Power Conversion Smart Protocol UPS equipment NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the apcsmart driver. For information about the core driver, see nutups- drv(8). SUPPORTED HARDWARE
apcsmart should recognize all APC models that use a serial protocol at 2400 bps. This is primarily the Smart-UPS and Matrix-UPS lines, but some Back-UPS Pro models are also supported. Some older hardware may only report a handful of variables. This is usually not a bug - they just don't support anything else. CABLING
This driver expects to see a 940-0024C cable or a clone by default. You can switch to the 940-0095B dual-mode cable support with the cable= definition described below. If your 940-0024C cable is broken or missing, use this diagram to build a clone: http://www.exploits.org/nut/library/cables/940-0024C.jpg EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5): cable=940-0095B Configure the serial port for the APC 940-0095B dual-mode cable. sdtype=num Use shutdown type num, according to this table: 0: soft shutdown or powerdown, depending on battery status 1: soft shutdown followed by powerdown 2: instant power off 3: power off with grace period Modes 0 and 1 will power up the load when power returns. Modes 2 and 3 will keep the load turned off when the power returns. BUGS
Some older APC UPS models return bogus data in the status register during a front panel test. This is usually detected and discarded, but some other unexpected values have occasionally slipped through. AUTHOR
