ifndef::external_title[] NUT command and variable naming scheme ====================================== endif::external_title[] This is a dump of the standard variables and command names used in NUT. Don't use a name with any of the dstate functions unless it exists here. If you need a new variable or command name, contact the Development Team first. Put another way: if you make up a name that's not in this list and it gets into the tree, and then we come up with a better name later, clients that use the undocumented variable will break when it is changed. NOTE: "opaque" means programs should not attempt to parse the value for that variable as it may vary greatly from one UPS to the next. These strings are best handled directly by the user. Variables --------- device: General unit information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: some of these data will be redundant with ups.* information during a transition period. The ups.* data will then be removed.

Phase Count Determination ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ input.phases (3 for three-phase, absent or 1 for 1phase) output.phases (as for input.phases) DOMAINs ^^^^^^^ Any input or output is considered a valid DOMAIN. input (should really be called input.mains, but keep this for compat) input.bypass input.servicebypass output (should really be called output.load, but keep this for compat) output.bypass output.inverter output.servicebypass Specification (SPEC) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Voltage, current, frequency, etc are considered to be a specification of the measurement. With this notation, the old 1phase naming scheme becomes DOMAIN.SPEC Example: `input.current` CONTEXT ^^^^^^^ When in three-phase mode, we need some way to specify the target for most measurements in more detail. We call this the CONTEXT. With this notation, the naming scheme becomes DOMAIN.CONTEXT.SPEC when in three-phase mode. Example: `input.L1.current` Valid CONTEXTs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ L1-L2 \ L2-L3 \ L3-L1 for voltage measurements L1-N / L2-N / L3-N / L1 \ L2 for current and power measurements L3 / N - for current measurement Valid SPECs ^^^^^^^^^^^ Valid with/without context (i.e. per phase or aggregated/averaged) [options="header"] |=============================================================================== | Name | Description | current | Current (A) | current.maximum | Maximum seen current (A) | current.minimum | Minimum seen current (A) | current.peak | Peak current | voltage | Voltage (V) | voltage.nominal | Nominal voltage (V) | voltage.maximum | Maximum seen voltage (V) | voltage.minimum | Minimum seen voltage (V) | power | Apparent power (VA) | power.maximum | Maximum seen apparent power (VA) | power.minimum | Minimum seen apparent power (VA) | power.percent | Percentage of apparent power related to maximum load | power.maximum.percent | Maximum seen percentage of apparent power | power.minimum.percent | Minimum seen percentage of apparent power | realpower | Real power (W) | powerfactor | Power Factor (dimensionless value between 0.00 and 1.00) | crestfactor | Crest Factor (dimensionless value greater or equal to 1) | load | Load on (ePDU) input |=============================================================================== Valid without context (i.e. aggregation of all phases): [options="header"] |=============================================================================== | Name | Description | frequency | Frequency (Hz) | frequency.nominal | Nominal frequency (Hz) | realpower | Current value of real power (Watts) | power | Current value of apparent power (Volt-Amps) |=============================================================================== EXAMPLES ~~~~~~~~ Partial Three phase - Three phase example: input.phases: 3 input.frequency: 50.0 input.L1.current: 133.0 input.bypass.L1-L2.voltage: 398.3 output.phases: 3 output.L1.power: 35700 output.powerfactor: 0.82 Partial Three phase - One phase example: input.phases: 3 input.L2.current: 48.2 input.N.current: 3.4 input.L3-L1.voltage: 405.4 input.frequency: 50.1 output.phases: 1 output.current: 244.2 output.voltage: 120 output.frequency.nominal: 60.0 battery: Any battery details ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [options="header"] |=============================================================================== | Name | Description | Example value | battery.charge | Battery charge (percent) | 100.0 | battery.charge.low | Remaining battery level when UPS switches to LB (percent) | 20 | battery.charge.restart | Minimum battery level for UPS restart after power-off | 20 | battery.charge.warning | Battery level when UPS switches to "Warning" state (percent) | 50 | battery.voltage | Battery voltage (V) | 24.84 | battery.voltage.nominal | Nominal battery voltage (V) | 024 | battery.voltage.low | Minimum battery voltage, that triggers FSD status | 21,52 | battery.voltage.high | Maximum battery voltage (i.e. battery.charge = 100) | 26,9 | battery.capacity | Battery capacity (Ah) | 7.2 | battery.current | Battery current (A) | 1.19 | battery.current.total | Total battery current (A) | 1.19 | battery.temperature | Battery temperature (degrees C) | 050.7 | battery.runtime | Battery runtime (seconds) | 1080 | battery.runtime.low | Remaining battery runtime when UPS switches to LB (seconds) | 180 | battery.runtime.restart | Minimum battery runtime for UPS restart after power-off (seconds) | 120 | battery.alarm.threshold | Battery alarm threshold | 0 (immediate) | battery.date | Battery change date (opaque string) | 11/14/00 | battery.mfr.date | Battery manufacturing date (opaque string) | 2005/04/02 | battery.packs | Number of battery packs | 001 | battery.packs.bad | Number of bad battery packs | 000 | battery.type | Battery chemistry (opaque string) | PbAc | battery.protection | Prevent deep discharge of battery | yes | battery.energysave | Switch off when running on battery and no/low load | no | battery.energysave.load | Switch off UPS if on battery and load level lower (percent) | 5 | battery.energysave.delay | Delay before switch off UPS if on battery and load level low (min) | 3 | battery.energysave.realpower | Switch off UPS if on battery and load level lower (Watts) | 10 |=============================================================================== ambient: Conditions from external probe equipment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: multiple sensors can be exposed using the indexed notation. 'ambient.*', without index or using '0', relates to the embedded sensor. For example: 'ambient.temperature' represent the embedded sensor temperature.
