Uninterruptable Power Supply:APC (view source)
Revision as of 14:09, 2 June 2010
, 14:09, 2 June 2010Added general description text, minor changes and typos
==Installation of Latest Version==
==Installation of Latest Version==
The latest version of ''apcupsd'' is 3.14.8-1 and is available from sourceforge in two rpms - one for the ups daemon and one for the web based monitoring scripts. Neither of these install exactly in line with the ''SME way'', and neither does the older version available on DAG.
Apcupsd can be used for power management and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates. Apcupsd is licensed under the GPL version 2.
The latest version of ''apcupsd'' is 3.14.8-1 (January 2010) and is available from sourceforge in two rpms - one for the UPS daemon and one for the web based monitoring scripts. Neither of these install exactly in line with the ''SME way'', and neither does the older version available on DAG.

===Configure Multimon etc Scripts===
The apcupsd-multimon rpm contains four cgi scripts that can be run via the webserver to monitor the UPS(s). The rpm does not install them correctly for SME however so the following modifications are needed.

Now go to http://yourdomain.tld/apcupsd to see the stats for the UPS at localhost, or https://yourdomain.tld/apcupsd/multimon.cgi for an overview of the UPS(s).
===Usage of Multimon etc Scripts===
Now go to http://yourdomain.tld/apcupsd to see the statistics for the UPS at localhost, or https://yourdomain.tld/apcupsd/multimon.cgi for an overview of the UPS(s).
By editing /etc/apcupsd/hosts.conf and adding additional network UPS details, multimon.cgi can be used to momitor more than one UPS. By default only the localhost is monitored.
