Hi,
On my FreeBSD box which is connected to the UPS I have the following
configuration (config not shown is left as default):
ups.conf
[apc]
driver = "usbhid-ups" # alternately:
port = "auto"
vendorid = "051D"
productid = "0003"
product = "Smart-UPS X 2200 FW:UPS 07.4 / ID=01003"
serial = "AS2039254737"
vendor = "American Power Conversion"
# bus = "000"
# device = "002"
# busport = "013"
upsd.conf
LISTEN 192.168.123.4 3493
upsd.users
[upsprimary]
password = *****
upsmon primary
[upssecondary]
password *****
upsmon secondary
upsmon.conf
MONITOR apc at 192.168.123.4 1 upsprimary ***** primary
And I can see all the processes running:
# ps -xa | grep -e ups -e nut
66945 - Is 0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/upslog -s myups at localhost -l
/var/log/nut/ups.log -i 300
66960 - Is 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/upsmon localhost
66961 - S 0:00.03 /usr/local/sbin/upsmon localhost
67166 - Ss 0:00.09 /usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a apc
67168 - Ss 0:00.06 /usr/local/sbin/upsd
And I can query the ups (Oddly with no need to use a username and password):
# upsc apc at 192.168.123.4

On a linux box I have:
upsmon.conf
MONITOR apc at 192.168.123.4 1 upssecondary ***** slave
And can query the ups (Again with no need to supply the username and
password):
# upsc apc at 192.168.123.4 ups.status
OL
When I start upsmon I see the following logging:
Feb 11 12:57:42 buildsever01 upsmon[17519]: Startup successful
Feb 11 12:57:42 buildsever01 upsmon[17520]: Login on UPS

On a OpenBSD box I have:
upsmon.conf
MONITOR apc at 192.168.123.4 1 upssecondary ***** secondary
And when I start upsmon I see the following:
# upsmon -F
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.8.2
kill: No such process
UPS: apc at 192.168.123.4 (secondary) (power value 1)
Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
upsnotify: failed to notify about state 2: no notification tech defined,
will not spam more about it
(After initial testing I've started upsmon on this machine via rcctl
enable upsmon && rcctl start upsmon.)
Is that it?? Is it all working? If I go and pull the power cable out of
the UPS these three machine should shut down once the battery reaches a
critical level based on the following?
battery.charge.low: 10
battery.charge.warning: 50
These servers are in a air conditioned rack. The air conditioning is not
plugged into a UPS (Don't ask) so ideally as soon as the UPS reports its
state as on batteries nut should shut these servers down.
I've seen that the levels can be overridden...
override.battery.charge.low = 10
override.battery.charge.warning = 50
So maybe I could set warning to 95 and low to 90?
Also is it possible to use nut to shut the servers down if the temp in
the rack goes above some value? I don't see the UPS reporting the temp
though.
Thanks
