This software provides a robust and adaptable client/server system for monitoring UPS devices. It offers powerful capabilities for managing UPSs and ensuring their efficient operation.
With Network UPS Tools, you can enjoy a layered approach that offers seamless connectivity to all the different parts of your hardware. Drivers are available for a wide range of equipment, which allows you to work with not just expensive "smart" protocol UPS but also simple "power strip" models without any issues.
The specific language of each of your UPS will be understood and mapped back to a compatibility layer by the software. This information is cached by the network server upsd, which responds to queries from clients. What's more, upsd also comes with a host of access control features that allow you to limit the capabilities of clients. In other words, only authorized hosts will be able to monitor or control your UPS hardware, giving you complete control and security.
Because Network UPS Tools is built to handle the notion of monitoring over the network, you can connect multiple systems to one large UPS, and they will all shut down simultaneously. Clients like upsmon check the status of the hardware and trigger necessary actions, such as shutting down the operating system before the UPS runs out of power.
In addition to these features, Network UPS Tools also provides other helpful applications, like programs that log UPS status, monitor status through your web browser, and more. Overall, if you're looking for a software that offers seamless connectivity and control over your UPS hardware, then Network UPS Tools is an excellent program to try.
