# Network UPS Tools: example upsmon configuration # # This file contains passwords, so keep it secure. # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # RUN_AS_USER # # By default, upsmon splits into two processes. One stays as root and # waits to run the SHUTDOWNCMD. The other one switches to another userid # and does everything else. # # The default nonprivileged user is set at compile-time with # 'configure --with-user=...'. # # You can override it with '-u ' when starting upsmon, or just # define it here for convenience. # # Note: if you plan to use the reload feature, this file (upsmon.conf) # must be readable by this user! Since it contains passwords, DO NOT # make it world-readable. Also, do not make it writable by the upsmon # user, since it creates an opportunity for an attack by changing the # SHUTDOWNCMD to something malicious. # # For best results, you should create a new normal user like "nutmon", # and make it a member of a "nut" group or similar. Then specify it # here and grant read access to the upsmon.conf for that group. # # This user should not have write access to upsmon.conf. # # RUN_AS_USER nutmon # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # MONITOR ("master"|"slave") # # List systems you want to monitor. Not all of these may supply power # to the system running upsmon, but if you want to watch it, it has to # be in this section. # # You must have at least one of these declared. # # is a UPS identifier in the form @[:] # like ups@localhost, su700@mybox, etc. # # Examples: # # - "su700@mybox" means a UPS called "su700" on a system called "mybox" # # - "fenton@bigbox:5678" is a UPS called "fenton" on a system called # "bigbox" which runs upsd on port "5678". # # The UPS names like "su700" and "fenton" are set in your ups.conf # in [brackets] which identify a section for a particular driver. # # If the ups.conf on host "doghouse" has a section called "snoopy", the # identifier for it would be "snoopy@doghouse". # # is an integer - the number of power supplies that this UPS # feeds on this system. Most computers only have one power supply, so this # is normally set to 1. You need a pretty big or special box to have any # other value here. # # You can also set this to 0 for a system that doesn't supply any power, # but you still want to monitor. Use this when you want to hear about # changes for a given UPS without shutting down when it goes critical, # unless is 0. # # and must match an entry in that system's # upsd.users. If your username is "monmaster" and your password is # "blah", the upsd.users would look like this: # # [monmaster] # password = blah # upsmon master (or slave) # # "master" means this system will shutdown last, allowing the slaves # time to shutdown first. # # "slave" means this system shuts down immediately when power goes critical. # # Examples: # # MONITOR myups@bigserver 1 monmaster blah master # MONITOR su700@server.example.com 1 upsmon secretpass slave # MONITOR myups@localhost 1 upsmon pass master (or slave) # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # MINSUPPLIES # # Give the number of power supplies that must be receiving power to keep # this system running. Most systems have one power supply, so you would # put "1" in this field. # # Large/expensive server type systems usually have more, and can run with # a few missing. The HP NetServer LH4 can run with 2 out of 4, for example, # so you'd set that to 2. The idea is to keep the box running as long # as possible, right? # # Obviously you have to put the redundant supplies on different UPS circuits # for this to make sense! See big-servers.txt in the docs subdirectory # for more information and ideas on how to use this feature. MINSUPPLIES 1 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # SHUTDOWNCMD "" # # upsmon runs this command when the system needs to be brought down. # # This should work just about everywhere ... if it doesn't, well, change it. SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0" # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # NOTIFYCMD # # upsmon calls this to send messages when things happen # # This command is called with the full text of the message as one argument. # The environment string NOTIFYTYPE will contain the type string of # whatever caused this event to happen. # # Note that this is only called for NOTIFY events that have EXEC set with # NOTIFYFLAG. See NOTIFYFLAG below for more details. # # Making this some sort of shell script might not be a bad idea. For more # information and ideas, see pager.txt in the docs directory. # # Example: # NOTIFYCMD /usr/local/ups/bin/notifyme # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # POLLFREQ # # Polling frequency for normal activities, measured in seconds. # # Adjust this to keep upsmon from flooding your network, but don't make # it too high or it may miss certain short-lived power events. POLLFREQ 5 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # POLLFREQALERT # # Polling frequency in seconds while UPS on battery. # # You can make this number lower than POLLFREQ, which will make updates # faster when any UPS is running on battery. This is a good way to tune # network load if you have a lot of these things running. # # The default is 5 seconds for both this and POLLFREQ. POLLFREQALERT 5 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # HOSTSYNC - How long upsmon will wait before giving up on another upsmon # # The master upsmon process uses this number when waiting for slaves to # disconnect once it has set the forced shutdown (FSD) flag. If they # don't disconnect after this many seconds, it goes on without them. # # Similarly, upsmon slave processes wait up to this interval for the # master upsmon to set FSD when a UPS they are monitoring goes critical - # that is, on battery and low battery. If the master doesn't do its job, # the slaves will shut down anyway to avoid damage to the file systems. # # This "wait for FSD" is done to avoid races where the status changes # to critical and back between polls by the master. HOSTSYNC 15 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # DEADTIME - Interval to wait before declaring a stale ups "dead" # # upsmon requires a UPS to provide status information every few seconds # (see POLLFREQ and POLLFREQALERT) to keep things updated. If the status # fetch fails, the UPS is marked stale. If it stays stale for more than # DEADTIME seconds, the UPS is marked dead. # # A dead UPS that was last known to be on battery is assumed to have gone # to a low battery condition. This may force a shutdown if it is providing # a critical amount of power to your system. # # Note: DEADTIME should be a multiple of POLLFREQ and POLLFREQALERT. # Otherwise you'll have "dead" UPSes simply because upsmon isn't polling # them quickly enough. Rule of thumb: take the larger of the two # POLLFREQ values, and multiply by 3. DEADTIME 15 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # POWERDOWNFLAG - Flag file for forcing UPS shutdown on the master system # # upsmon will create a file with this name in master mode when it's time # to shut down the load. You should check for this file's existence in # your shutdown scripts and run 'upsdrvctl shutdown' if it exists. # # See the shutdown.txt file in the docs subdirectory for more information.

It does this by triggering a # NOTIFY_REPLBATT which is then handled by the usual notify structure # you've defined above. # # If this number is not to your liking, override it here. RBWARNTIME 43200 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # NOCOMMWARNTIME - no communications warning time in seconds # # upsmon will let you know through the usual notify system if it can't # talk to any of the UPS entries that are defined in this file. It will # trigger a NOTIFY_NOCOMM by default every 300 seconds unless you # change the interval with this directive. NOCOMMWARNTIME 300 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # FINALDELAY - last sleep interval before shutting down the system # # On a master, upsmon will wait this long after sending the NOTIFY_SHUTDOWN # before executing your SHUTDOWNCMD. If you need to do something in between # those events, increase this number. Remember, at this point your UPS is # almost depleted, so don't make this too high. # # Alternatively, you can set this very low so you don't wait around when # it's time to shut down. Some UPSes don't give much warning for low # battery and will require a value of 0 here for a safe shutdown. # # Note: If FINALDELAY on the slave is greater than HOSTSYNC on the master, # the master will give up waiting for the slave to disconnect.
