We currently use APC EMU or now NetBotz and What's Up Gold to watch for condition changes. It uses SNMP to send traps to WUG and we send alerts as needed/required. To add more connections, you buy more I have been watching Forest's equipment for some time, and have always wanted to test some, but the lack of a web page has kept me from it when we have something that works.

I was wondering about that... no experience though. What hardware/software do you use at the site to facilitate the monitoring? It was suggested in a private reply to monitor the UPS... but that doesn't quite work, as the UPS will likely not know the difference between grid and genny power.

Most of the Generac or commercial gensets have relays in the control panel that let you know what is going on. We tie into them and just use a contact closure monitor.

How does one typically monitor remote locations to know when/if they're running on generator? I'd like to know when a generator exorcises and when it's running due to a power outage. The easiest solution I can think of, is to stick an old routerboard at the site to run from the generator only, then monitor it to know when we're on genny power. This seems a little klunky though.
