NAME

|

|
|
|

|
|
upslog - UPS status logger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*upslog -h*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*upslog* ['OPTIONS']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*upslog* is a daemon that will poll a UPS at periodic intervals, fetch the
|
||
|
|
variables that interest you, format them, and write them to a file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default format string includes variables that are supported by many
|
||
|
|
common UPS models. See the description below to make your own.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*-h*::
|
||
|
|
Display the help message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*-f* 'format'::
|
||
|
|
Monitor the UPS using this format string. Be sure to enclose
|
||
|
|
'format' in quotes so your shell doesn't split it up. Valid escapes
|
||
|
|
within this string are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%%;; Insert a single "%"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%TIME format%;; Insert the time with strftime formatting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%ETIME%;; Insert the number of seconds, ala time_t. This is now a
|
||
|
|
10 digit number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%HOST%;; insert the local hostname
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%UPSHOST%;; insert the host of the UPS being monitored
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%PID%;; insert the pid of upslog
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%VAR varname%;; insert the value of variable varname
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default format string is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%TIME @Y@m@d @H@M@S% %VAR battery.charge% %VAR input.voltage%
|
||
|
|
%VAR ups.load% [%VAR ups.status%] %VAR ups.temperature%
|
||
|
|
%VAR input.frequency%
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*-i* 'interval'::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wait this many seconds between polls. This defaults to 30 seconds.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
If you require tighter timing, you should write your own logger using
|
||
|
|
the linkman:upsclient[3] library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*-l* 'logfile'::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Store the results in this file.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
You can use "-" for stdout, but upslog will remain in the foreground.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*-s* 'ups'::
|
||
|
|
Monitor this UPS. The format for this option is
|
||
|
|
+upsname[@hostname[:port]]+. The default hostname is "localhost".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*-u* 'username'::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If started as root, upsmon will *setuid*(2) to the user id
|
||
|
|
associated with 'username' for security.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
If 'username' is not defined, it will use the value that was compiled into the
|
||
|
|
program. This defaults to "nobody", which is less than ideal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SERVICE DELAYS
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interval value is merely the number given to *sleep*(3) after running
|
||
|
|
through the format string. Therefore, a query will actually take slightly
|
||
|
|
longer than the interval, depending on the speed of your system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LOG ROTATION
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*upslog* writes its PID to `upslog.pid`, and will reopen the log file if you
|
||
|
|
send it a SIGHUP. This allows it to keep running when the log is rotated
|
||
|
|
by an external program.
