NUT-RECORDER(8)
===============


NAME
----
nut-recorder - utility to record device status and values changes

SYNOPSIS
--------
*nut-recorder* 'device-name' [output-file] [interval]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
*nut-recorder* is an utility to record sequences from running devices (such as
power failures, or any other value changes) from upsd, and dump it in a .seq
format.

The .seq file can then be used by the linkman:dummy-ups[8] driver
to replay the sequence.

OPTIONS
-------
'device-name'::

Record the changes of this device.  The format for this option is
'devname[@hostname[:port]]'.  The default hostname is "localhost".

'output-file'::

Optional.  Data will be saved to this file.  The default is
'dummy-device.seq'.

'interval'::

Optional.  The status of the device will be checked every 'interval'.
The default is 5 seconds.

EXAMPLES
--------

To record data from 'ups1@host1' every 10 seconds:

	$ nut-recorder ups1@host1' ups1-output.seq 10
	. . .
	battery.charge: 100.0
	battery.voltage: 13.9
	battery.voltage.nominal: 13.6
	ups.status: OL
	. . .
	battery.charge: 90.0
	ups.status: OB
	. . .

You can then define a dummy device in linkman:ups.conf[5]:

	[ups-test]
		driver = dummy-ups
		port = ups1-output.seq
