Notification when a power outage

**GlassFish** · 21-12-2009

Hi,
I put up on our servers Nut (Debian Lenny) equipped with APC Smart UPS 1000 through the tutorial which I found on internet. Everything works perfectly, but I wonder if it is possible to be notified when a power outage occurs. In our current configuration, a mail is sent only when the server goes down if extended outage. This would allow us to monitor on a site, the frequency of blackouts. Thank you in advance.

Hi
I never implemented this solution, but why not use a custom script as proposed

Code:

root / upsalert

Code:

/ bin / sh

This will send mail to administrator

Code:

echo "Power is lost." | Mail-s "ALERT UPS" admin@myserver.com

Hope this will help you.

Hi
So here is my file upsmon.conf:

Code:

MONITOR myups @ localhost 1 admin admin master
SHUTDOWN "/ sbin / shutdown-h now"
NOTIFYCMD / sbin / upssched
NOTIFYFL ONBATT SYSLOG + WALL + EXEC
NOTIFYFL ONLINE SYSLOG + WALL + EXEC

Can I add a second directive NOTIFYCMD in the same file?
Can the two NOTIFYCMD then be taken into account?

Hi
One small blunder for me (but I do not know if this is true for everyone), the driver hidup has obviously been replaced by the driver usbhid-ups, which does not simplify Research why the server does not properly serve. I used the RPM delivered with Mandriva 2008.1. Any advice on this.

During my setup hidup was not working, I then replaced by usbhid-ups / etc / nut / ups.conf! and now everything works fine. I think even you can try this. If you occur with any more problem, please do post back because I am very much interest in such topics.
