## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ## # # "apcupsd" POSIX config file # # Note that the apcupsd daemon must be restarted in order for changes to # this configuration file to become active. # # # ========= General configuration parameters ============ # # UPSNAME xxx # Use this to give your UPS a name in log files and such. This # is particulary useful if you have multiple UPSes. This does not # set the EEPROM. It should be 8 characters or less. #UPSNAME # UPSCABLE # Defines the type of cable connecting the UPS to your computer. # # Possible generic choices for are: # simple, smart, ether, usb # # Or a specific cable model number may be used: # 940-0119A, 940-0127A, 940-0128A, 940-0020B, # 940-0020C, 940-0023A, 940-0024B, 940-0024C, # 940-1524C, 940-0024G, 940-0095A, 940-0095B, # 940-0095C, 940-0625A, M-04-02-2000 # UPSCABLE usb # To get apcupsd to work, in addition to defining the cable # above, you must also define a UPSTYPE, which corresponds to # the type of UPS you have (see the Description for more details). # You must also specify a DEVICE, sometimes referred to as a port. # For USB UPSes, please leave the DEVICE directive blank. For # other UPS types, you must specify an appropriate port or address. # # UPSTYPE DEVICE Description # apcsmart /dev/tty** Newer serial character device, appropriate for # SmartUPS models using a serial cable (not USB). # # usb Most new UPSes are USB. A blank DEVICE # setting enables autodetection, which is # the best choice for most installations. # # net hostname:port Network link to a master apcupsd through apcupsd's # Network Information Server. This is used if the # UPS powering your computer is connected to a # different computer for monitoring. # # snmp hostname:port:vendor:community # SNMP network link to an SNMP-enabled UPS device. # Hostname is the ip address or hostname of the UPS # on the network. Vendor can be can be "APC" or # "APC_NOTRAP". "APC_NOTRAP" will disable SNMP trap # catching; you usually want "APC". Port is usually # 161. Community is usually "private". # # netsnmp hostname:port:vendor:community # OBSOLETE # Same as SNMP above but requires use of the # net-snmp library. Unless you have a specific need # for this old driver, you should use 'snmp' instead. # # dumb /dev/tty** Old serial character device for use with # simple-signaling UPSes. # # pcnet ipaddr:username:passphrase:port # PowerChute Network Shutdown protocol which can be # used as an alternative to SNMP with the AP9617 # family of smart slot cards. ipaddr is the IP # address of the UPS management card. username and # passphrase are the credentials for which the card # has been configured. port is the port number on # which to listen for messages from the UPS, normally # 3052. If this parameter is empty or missing, the # default of 3052 will be used. # # modbus /dev/tty** Serial device for use with newest SmartUPS models # supporting the MODBUS protocol. # modbus Leave the DEVICE setting blank for MODBUS over USB # or set to the serial number of the UPS to ensure # that apcupsd binds to that particular unit # (helpful if you have more than one USB UPS). # UPSTYPE usb DEVICE # POLLTIME # Interval (in seconds) at which apcupsd polls the UPS for status. This # setting applies both to directly-attached UPSes (UPSTYPE apcsmart, usb, # dumb) and networked UPSes (UPSTYPE net, snmp). Lowering this setting # will improve apcupsd's responsiveness to certain events at the cost of # higher CPU utilization. The default of 60 is appropriate for most # situations. #POLLTIME 60 # LOCKFILE # Path for device lock file for UPSes connected via USB or # serial port. This is the directory into which the lock file # will be written. The directory must already exist; apcupsd will not create # it. The actual name of the lock file is computed from DEVICE. # Not used on Win32. LOCKFILE /var/lock # SCRIPTDIR # Directory in which apccontrol and event scripts are located. SCRIPTDIR /etc/apcupsd # PWRFAILDIR # Directory in which to write the powerfail flag file. This file # is created when apcupsd initiates a system shutdown and is # checked in the OS halt scripts to determine if a killpower # (turning off UPS output power) is required. PWRFAILDIR /etc/apcupsd # NOLOGINDIR # Directory in which to write the nologin file. The existence # of this flag file tells the OS to disallow new logins. NOLOGINDIR /etc # # ======== Configuration parameters used during power failures ========== # # The ONBATTERYDELAY is the time in seconds from when a power failure # is detected until we react to it with an onbattery event. # # This means that, apccontrol will be called with the powerout argument # immediately when a power failure is detected. However, the # onbattery argument is passed to apccontrol only after the # ONBATTERYDELAY time. If you don't want to be annoyed by short # powerfailures, make sure that apccontrol powerout does nothing # i.e. comment out the wall. ONBATTERYDELAY 6 # # Note: BATTERYLEVEL, MINUTES, and TIMEOUT work in conjunction, so # the first that occurs will cause the initation of a shutdown. # # If during a power failure, the remaining battery percentage # (as reported by the UPS) is below or equal to BATTERYLEVEL, # apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown. BATTERYLEVEL 15 # If during a power failure, the remaining runtime in minutes # (as calculated internally by the UPS) is below or equal to MINUTES, # apcupsd, will initiate a system shutdown. MINUTES 5 # If during a power failure, the UPS has run on batteries for TIMEOUT # many seconds or longer, apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown. # A value of 0 disables this timer. # # Note, if you have a Smart UPS, you will most likely want to disable # this timer by setting it to zero. That way, you UPS will continue # on batteries until either the % charge remaing drops to or below BATTERYLEVEL, # or the remaining battery runtime drops to or below MINUTES. Of course, # if you are testing, setting this to 60 causes a quick system shutdown # if you pull the power plug. # If you have an older dumb UPS, you will want to set this to less than # the time you know you can run on batteries. TIMEOUT 0 # Time in seconds between annoying users to signoff prior to # system shutdown. 0 disables. ANNOY 300 # Initial delay after power failure before warning users to get # off the system. ANNOYDELAY 60 # The condition which determines when users are prevented from # logging in during a power failure. # NOLOGON [ disable | timeout | percent | minutes | always ] NOLOGON disable # If KILLDELAY is non-zero, apcupsd will continue running after a # shutdown has been requested, and after the specified time in # seconds attempt to kill the power. This is for use on systems # where apcupsd cannot regain control after a shutdown. # KILLDELAY 0 disables KILLDELAY 0 # # ==== Configuration statements for Network Information Server ==== # # NETSERVER [ on | off ] on enables, off disables the network # information server. If netstatus is on, a network information # server process will be started for serving the STATUS and # EVENT data over the network (used by CGI programs). NETSERVER on # NISIP # IP address on which NIS server will listen for incoming connections. # This is useful if your server is multi-homed (has more than one # network interface and IP address). Default value is 0.0.0.0 which # means any incoming request will be serviced. Alternatively, you can # configure this setting to any specific IP address of your server and # NIS will listen for connections only on that interface. Use the # loopback address (127.0.0.1) to accept connections only from the # local machine. NISIP 127.0.0.1 # NISPORT default is 3551 as registered with the IANA # port to use for sending STATUS and EVENTS data over the network. # It is not used unless NETSERVER is on. If you change this port, # you will need to change the corresponding value in the cgi directory # and rebuild the cgi programs. NISPORT 3551 # If you want the last few EVENTS to be available over the network # by the network information server, you must define an EVENTSFILE. EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events # EVENTSFILEMAX # By default, the size of the EVENTSFILE will be not be allowed to exceed # 10 kilobytes. When the file grows beyond this limit, older EVENTS will # be removed from the beginning of the file (first in first out). The # parameter EVENTSFILEMAX can be set to a different kilobyte value, or set # to zero to allow the EVENTSFILE to grow without limit. EVENTSFILEMAX 10 # # ========== Configuration statements used if sharing ============= # a UPS with more than one machine # # Remaining items are for ShareUPS (APC expansion card) ONLY # # UPSCLASS [ standalone | shareslave | sharemaster ] # Normally standalone unless you share an UPS using an APC ShareUPS # card.
