====== UPS Monitor ======

The UPS Monitor menu has settings and information to let you monitor your Uninterruptible Power Supply.

Monitoring is available only for APC UPSes with a USB connection compatible with the APC smart protocol library. The UPS Monitor library is included only in the Mega-VPN and AIO// //builds.

 \\

The menu is divided in two sections:

  - The APC UPS Status table.
  - APC UPS Response strings.

 \\

For more details, see: [[https://networkupstools.org/protocols/apcsmart.html]]

 \\

To establish a connection:

  - In the USB Support menu, enable //USB 1.1 support (OHCI)// 
  - Enable the //Run APCUPSD Daemon// option. Click Save.\\ \\ \\ {{::ups_monitoring_configuration.png?693}}

===== UPS Monitor Notes and Troubleshooting =====

==== Daemon Log Entries ====

A good way to debug issues with the UPS daemon is to check the Logs for entries that indicate successful startup.

 \\ For example, see the last entry on this screen:

 \\  \\ The last log entry here indicates the apcupsd daemon started without problems.
