Thanks in advance for your input. Much appreciated. I look forward to
reading your scripts!
I will not be wanting to shut my servers down, but instead switch them over
to generators rather then the AC power. The generators we have at each site
are not good/smart enough to take in AC power and kick on when it drops,
unfortunately.
Hi Josh... Just to clarify, the NUT program has the OPTION to shut servers
down... It is not mandatory.
You can have it do anything you like (eg: run an arbitrary script, send email
notifications) at certain events: battery percentage or certain runtime left,
system on battery, AC back on etc.
Hope that clears things up.
NUT is a great package, and the scripts and graphs I have added to hobbit just
monitor the UPSes managed by the NUT server. Then I use hobbit for the
notifications when any of the data points reaches a defined threshold.
