status of a UPS, writing it to a file.
All these clients all run on the ECS0016 (for Management Console presentations) but they also are run remotely (on locally powered servers and remote monitoring systems).
This layered NUT architecture enables:
•Multiple manufacturer support: NUT can monitor USB models from 79 different manufacturers with a unified interface
•Multiple architecture support: NUT can manage serial and USB connected models with the same common interface. SNMP equipment can also be monitored (although at this stage this is still
•Multiple clients monitoring the one UPS: Multiple systems may monitor a single UPS using only their network connections and there’s a wide selection of client programs) which support monitoring UPS hardware via NUT (Big Sister, Cacti, Nagios, Windows and more. Refer
So NUT supports the more complex power architectures found in data centers, computer rooms and NOCs where many UPSes from many vendors power many systems with many clients and each of the larger UPSes power multiple devices and many of these devices are themselves dual powered.
Environmental Monitoring
The Environmental Monitor Device (EMD) connects to any ECS0016 serial port and each console server can support multiple EMDs. Each EMD device has one temperature and one humidity sensor and two general purpose status sensors which can be connected to a smoke detector, water detector, vibration or
