I'm trying to set up a single host to monitor the state of several UPS
in my data center. I have a mix of several APC and Tripp-Lite in
production. The former are great, the latter are not so much. With the
APCs (using usbhid-ups), I can set up configs for each based on the
value they report from ups.serial. With the Tripp-Lites (using
tripplite_usb), there is no value returned for ups.serial (serial=12345
in ups.conf), and debug output says the serial is "unknown". The driver
does read a "Unit ID" value, but this appears to be the same for all
devices and I have not yet found a way to configure this in the device
firmware manually.
Are there any plans to support this in the near future? Is there
anything I can do to help support this? I would like to be able to
check all of the UPS from a single host, but without a way to
differentiate them, I'm out of luck.
Thanks.
Seth
