Hello @support_team,
I’ve installed the UPS application on Nethserver. I’ve read the UPS docs on Nethserver Docs and I’m not finding what it says I should find. I see an option to select Server or Client for one UPS. I have multiple UPS in my server room. Can Nethserver UPS connect to the server that each UPS is attached too and give me stats on each UPS?
What’s the setup I need to use and where can I choose the make and model of UPS in Nethserver Admin?
thank you.
Hi Charles
AFAIK, NethServer can only handle one UPS (Using the GUI) at the moment.
I mostly use a Raspberry PI3 for UPS monitoring. That can easily handle 4 UPS (4 USB sockets).
The Raspberry is the Server or Master, NethServer, Proxmox et Al. become Clients, as far as UPS is concerned.
This also links in to my Zabbix monitoring (on NethServer) very well.
My 2 cents

AFAIK no.
NethServer can act as NUT server (if the UPS is phisically connected to the nethserver) or as a NUT client (if the UPS is connected to another NUT server) for managing the shutdown in case of missing power from the provider.
