Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) play a crucial role in ensuring data integrity and system uptime during unexpected power outages. The Network UPS Tools (NUT) is an open-source software that enables seamless communication between Linux systems and various UPS devices. This guide will provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the NUT client setup on Ubuntu, empowering you to effectively manage and monitor your UPS.
Before proceeding with the NUT client setup, ensure the following requirements are met:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nut
/etc/nut/ups.conf
file, add the following line:ups [name_of_ups] driver usb
sudo service nut-server start
/etc/nut/ups.conf
:ups [name_of_ups] driver network host [ip_address_of_server] port [port_number]
To receive notifications about UPS events, edit the /etc/nut/upsd.conf
file and add the following lines:
notifycmd ups.notify
notifytime [seconds]
Create the ups.notify
script to handle UPS notifications:
#!/bin/sh
echo "$3 $4 $5" | mail -s "UPS Notification" [email_address]
Start the NUT services:
sudo systemctl start nut-client
sudo systemctl enable nut-client
Use the following command to check the status of the UPS:
sudo /usr/sbin/upsc [name_of_ups]
To monitor UPS data in real-time, use the following commands:
nut-monitor
package to remotely monitor multiple UPS devices.Follow the steps outlined in this guide to set up the NUT client on Ubuntu and effectively manage your UPS. Monitor UPS data regularly to ensure data integrity and system uptime, and implement custom scripts to automate responses to UPS events.
