Hello all, Given that some UPSes and other devices manageable by NUT may have several means of connectivity simultaneously, such as USB/Serial and SNMP, it may be useful to utilize several connection methods to the same UPS.
Moreover, a couple of master servers with connection to the engineering VLAN (where an SNMP UPS is present) might provide equivalent "access" to the UPS data for the slave systems without access to that VLAN. I believe the key idea here is to have a grouping of MONITOR rules (or perhaps a new similar keyword) that would state that a number of "ups@host login pass" tuples correspond to the same set of "N powersources fed". As long as at least one "data path" provides non-stale data, we consider that the UPS information is available for this set of powersources. Does this idea sound sane and/or useful? ;) Thanks, //Jim Klimov _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
