8.2.2 Remote UPS management
A
Remote UPS
is a UPS that is connected as a Managed Device to a remote
console server
that is
monitored (but not managed) by your
console server
.
You can configure the
upsc
and
upslog
clients in the Black Box
console server
to monitor remote servers
that are running Network UPS Tools managing their locally connected UPSes. These remote servers
might be other Black Box
console server
s or generic Linux servers running NUT. You can centrally
monitor all these distributed UPSes (which may be spread in a row in a data center, around a campus
property, or across the country) through the one central
console server
window. To add a Remote UPS:
Select the
Serial & Network: UPS Connections
menu. The
Remote UPSes
section will display all
the remote UPS devices being monitored.
Click
Add Remote UPS
