The check_ups plugin was created to facilitate monitoring of a number of UPS vendor products.\u00a0 To use the plugin you will need to install UPSD daemon distributed with Russel Kroll’s Smart UPS Tools on the remote host.\u00a0 (See the REQUIREMENTS at the end of this post).<\/p>\n
I do however believe that this plugin works with the old NUT API, which has been deprecated when switching from 1.4 to 2.0 version of NUT.<\/p>\n

\nThis plugin attempts to determine the status of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power
\nSupply) on a local or remote host. If the UPS is online or calibrating, the
\nplugin will return an OK state. If the battery is on it will return a WARNING
\nstate.If the UPS is off or has a low battery the plugin will return a CRITICAL
\nstate.<\/p>\n
\nThis plugin requires that the UPSD daemon distributed with Russel Kroll’s
\nSmart UPS Tools be installed on the remote host.\u00a0 If you do not have the
\npackage installed on your system, you can download it from http:\/\/www.networkupstools.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
