[Plug-In] NUT - Network UPS Tools


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the feedback. I can't take all the credit since it's a port of the apcupsd plugin.
@luca2 when researching nut it said something about battery % and 'time left on battery' may vary depending on hardware and battery age. So that could be the reason for the difference. I run on a straight time on battery (5-10 mins).

I will format the runtime left. Maybe h:m:s cause I don't know what .91666666667 minutes means.

Thank you [mention=11874]dmacias[/mention] for taking this on! I have installed your version without issue; unfortunately, my UPS / SNMP card is still not recognized.
 
Are you familiar with NUT? I know you can extend the drivers with sub-drivers (http://networkupstools.org/docs/developer-guide.chunked/ar01s04.html#snmp-subdrivers), but I cannot wrap my head around it.

Do you have the SNMP plugin installed? I didn't include the net-snmp package with this version. Did you try nut-scanner from the command line? What model ups and card? Is it in their list of currently implemented subdrivers from the link?

Agree, looks very nice, just a request if possible, could the runtime display round to the closest minute, or display 1 or 2 decimals max?

I changed the runtime display to hours:minutes:seconds. I added master/slave options. I am able to connect to my main server from my backup and the slave shows the summary and details from the master. I did not test slave shutdown yet.

updated & seems to be working as master/slave on my 2 servers. On the first run I was getting the following error on the Master, but after restarting NUT it seems to be fine now

I just installed the plugin as-is and set SNMP-UPS as the driver (from the dropdown). I'm running a Liebert-GXT2U UPS with one of their early "Liberty" SNMP cards - I can walk it via "snmpwalk". The card is not part of the subdrivers in the link, but my understanding is someone (who understands the process) can generate a new driver based on the data from a walk / mib file.

Ok I'll see if I can figure it out. I'll look through the link again and see if I need more info.

How close is this to being a viable replacement for the apcupsd built in to unraid? Will it talk to all the APC and Cyberpower models? If so, maybe we can get [mention=1]limetech[/mention] to switch? It would be nice to have more universal UPS support built in to unraid.

Hi, you can post your request here in hope Limetech includes It!

I have an APC SUA2200RM2U that I'm thinking about stuffing some new batteries in. It has been dormant almost 5 years. I also have a Tripplite Minuteman Rack UPS 2000VA, and an ungodly heavy 4u or 5u APC that is packed behind some stuff that I'm not digging out for the model number, lol. Anyway, the 2200 is already in the bottom of the rack. Will this plugin gracefully shutdown unRaid with that model? What about the others?

The APC SUA2200RM2U should work from what I've read. You could just try it. Just stop the array first. You could power the server through a different ups and just hook up the serial or usb of the APC. Not sure on the others. Check the NUT website.

How do you get the details to show?  I do not see that on my unraid server.  I would love to be able to monitor the UPS load.

I didn't do anything, I guess it will depend on the UPS, I'm using an APC Pro 900.

Does the status say running? That table only shows up if nut monitor is running.

 

Yes, Nut is running as I can see the UPS statistics chart below the options.  Did the chart replace the details section posted above? The chart shows the load as 10. But that doesn't make sense, unless a 10 means 100. 

 

I turned off the built-in Unraid APC UPS service as I have a CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD. The built in APC service did see my UPS, but it reported the battery at 120%.  So it mostly works, but is not fully compatible.

I really should just create a new thread. But are you running the plugin from the OP or mine from here https://forums.lime-technology.com/index.php?/topic/40690-[Plug-In]-NUT---Network-UPS-Tools#entry563891

The load showing 10% should be ok. That means your only running at 10% of your capacity. You don't want it at 100. I have both the CP1350PFCLCD and the CP850PFCLCD. They both seem to work fine. Maybe post a screen of your nut settings and nut details.

I am running the one from the OP by macester.  I didn't realize there was another by you.  I will read thru the thread more closely to get my bearings straight.

 

UPDATE:  I now installed your plugin.  Now I see what I was looking for.  Thank you for updating the original plugin!

I try setting unRAID to connect a QNAP NAS which serv as a UPS network server.

 

Install @dmaciasNUT plugin, but don't why no data will got and just show running, from the log "upsmon" should be fine.

What settings are you using? Did you set Slave mode and enter ip? I just noticed you may have to select Slave the click apply. Then the ip field will be unlocked. Also you would need password to match on your QNAP or you could edit the monitor config with the webgui editor.

I already set Slave mode and IP.

 

Today I continue troubleshoot by turn on debug info, I found "UPSMON" actually was running, but just get "status" datafill, could you post your debug result for ref. Thanks

I set my backup server to be a slave to my main server. It probably has something to do with the url tag.
