I'm trying to config apcupsd on my Ubuntu 10.04 Server, I've got an "APC Smart UPS 1000 LCD" connected via USB ( Bus 003 Device 003: ID 051d:0003 American Power Conversion UPS ).

My apcupsd.conf file highlights:

UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE

And the apcaccess outputs is:

How can I read others data that I can see on my UPS display? Such as voltage in / out, load capacity and other stuff.

Thanks!

  • Somehow the apcupsd does not yet support the "lcd" generation of smart-ups, i think. I made the same observation, also the ''apctest'' program does not work for most options. – Moritz Both Jun 22 '11 at 14:58

Have you installed the apcupsd CGI monitoring programs where your webserver can use them? Looks like the sample output at that link may be what you want.

  • No, but I'm running a `munin` plugin as server monitor, but I think that I'm using a wrong driver to access my SmartUPS 1000 LCD, or it's unsupported, in fact some `STATUS` variable are missing. – Fabio Feb 23 '11 at 14:16

    Why not try APC's Powerchute software for Linux? Entering the UPS part number at http://www.apc.com/tools/download/index.cfm should point you to a compatible version. They make you register, but I think it's free. – Paul Feb 23 '11 at 14:55
