Summary     : APC UPS power control daemon
Description :
Apcupsd can be used for controlling most APC UPSes. During a power failure,
apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown
may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the
battery is exausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or the battery runtime
expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption
rates. If the power is restored before one of the above shutdown conditions
is met, apcupsd will inform users about this fact.

Some features depend on what UPS model you have (simple or smart).

Nach der erfolgreichen Installation des apcupsd ist es an der Zeit die Konfigurationsdatei

• /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf

entsprechend anzupassen.

Dies Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf nach der Installation im default-Zustand sieht wie folgt aus (Kommentarzeilen und Leerzeilen werden nicht mit ausgegeben):

# egrep -v '(^.*#|^$)' /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
UPSCABLE smart
UPSTYPE apcsmart
DEVICE /dev/ttyS0
LOCKFILE /var/lock

EVENTSFILEMAX 10
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable
STATTIME 0
STATFILE /var/log/apcupsd.status
LOGSTATS off
DATATIME 0

Folgende drei Angaben in der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf sind minimal zu setzen, um den Deamon starten zu können:

• UPSCABLE usb - Definiert die Art des Kabels, wie der Server mit der USV verbunden ist.
• UPSTYPE usb - Definiert die Art, wie der Server mit der USV kommuniziert, was jedoch abhängig vom Kabel ist !!!
• DEVICE - Beim UPSTYPE usb muss diese Angabe LEER bleiben !!!

Nachfolgende Angaben bestimmen das Verhalten des Deamon an sich und sind ebenfalls standardmäßig in der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf vorhanden:

• LOCKFILE /var/lock - Pfad zur Sperr-Datei (zeigt an, ob der Deamon gestartet wurde)
• SCRIPTDIR /etc/apcupsd - Pfad zum Verzeichnis in dem benötigte Scripte enthalten sind
• PWRFAILDIR /etc/apcupsd - Pfad zum Verzeichnis in dem der Hinweis gespeichert wird, dass eine Abschaltung wegen Stromausfall durchgeführt wurde
• NOLOGINDIR /etc - Pfad zum Verzeichnis in dem der Hinweis gespeichert wird, dass keine Neuanmeldungen bis zum Herunterfahren erfolgen dürfen

Dies ist eine Beispiel, wie eine Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf aussehen könnte:

# egrep -v '(^.*#|^$)' /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
UPSNAME USV
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE 
LOCKFILE /var/lock
SCRIPTDIR /etc/apcupsd

Für weitere Erklärungen zu den einzelnen Optionen in der Konfiguratiosndatei /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf kann folgender Link hilfreich sein:

• apcupsd - Manual - Optionen

Um den Apcupsd zu starten kann folgender Befehl angewandt werden:

# service apcupsd start
Starting UPS monitoring:                                   [  OK  ]

Um den Apcupsd zu stoppen kann folgender Befehl angewandt werden:

# service apcupsd stop
Shutting down UPS monitoring:                              [  OK  ]

Eine Überprüfung ob der Start des Apcupsd erfolgreich war kann mit folgendem Befehl durchgeführt werden, welcher nachfolgende Ausgabe erzeugen sollte:

# service apcupsd status

Um den apcupsd-Daemon dauerhaft bei jedem Neustart des Rechners automatisch zu starten geben Sie bitte als root folgenden Befehl ein, um zu überprüfen wie die aktuelle Konfiguration des Startverhaltens des aktuellen apcupsd-Daemon aussieht:

# chkconfig --list | grep apcupsd
apcupsd         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

Falls die Ausgabe wie oben gezeigt erscheinen sollte, wird der apcupsd-Daemon bei jedem Neustart des Rechners gestartet. Falls dies nicht so sein sollte, kann dies mit folgende Befehle nachgeholt werden:

# chkconfig apcupsd on

* Aktivieren des automatischen Starten des apcupsd-Daemon.

Falls der Deamons - Apcupsd erfolgreich installiert, konfiguriert und gestartet ist, kann mit nachfolgenden Anweisungen eine Überwachung der USV via Netzwerk bzw. Internet und Webbrowser ermöglicht werden.

Zu beachten ist, das die Scripte in einem CGI-Verzeichnis oder einem Verzeichnis auf dem Apache HTTP Webserver zu erreichen sein müssen. Evtl. kann auch ein eigener Virtueller Host im Apache HTTP Webserver dafür definiert werden.

Standardmäßig werden die benötigten CGI-Scripte im Verzeichnis /var/www/apcupsd installiert. Falls dies gewünscht sein sollte, können die Scripte mit nachfolgender Beispiel-URL erreicht werden:

• http://ihrserver.tld/multimon.cgi

HINWEIS - Wesentlich eleganter ist die Definition eines Virtuellen Host in der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf, die könnte wie folgt aussehen könnte:

#
# usv.tachtler.net
# (only reachable from local network)
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@tachtler.net
        ServerName usv.tachtler.net
        ServerAlias www.usv.tachtler.net 
        ServerPath /
        DocumentRoot "/var/www/apcupsd"
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
        <Directory "/var/www/apcupsd">
                Options ExecCGI
                AllowOverride AuthConfig
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
                # Access from local host only
                Allow from 127.0.0.1
                # Access from local network
                Allow from 192.168.0.0/24
        </Directory>
        DirectoryIndex multimon.cgi
        ErrorLog logs/usv_error.log
        CustomLog logs/usv_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

WICHTIG sind hier folgende Definitionen:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

* Ausführbarkeit von CGI-Scripte für den Apache HTTP Webserver und

DirectoryIndex multimon.cgi

* Startdatei für den Apache HTTP Webserver, damit das CGI-Script beim Aufruf des Virtuellen Hosts gleich ausgeführt wird.

Zwar ist die „Webanwendung“ bereits lauffähig, jedoch können noch Anpassungen in der Konfigurationsdatei von apcupsd-multimon durchgeführt werden, welche in nachfolgendem Verzeichnis und mit nachfolgendem Namen zu editieren sind:

• /etc/apcupsd/multimon.conf
• /etc/apcupsd/hosts.conf

Dies Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/multimon.conf nach der Installation im default-Zustand sieht wie folgt aus (Kommentarzeilen und Leerzeilen werden nicht mit ausgegeben):

# egrep -v '(^.*#|^$)' /etc/apcupsd/multimon.conf
TEMPC
FIELD SYSTEM "System" ""
FIELD MODEL "Model" ""
FIELD STATUS "Status" ""
FIELD battpct "Battery Chg" "%"
FIELD utility "Utility" "VAC"
FIELD loadpct "UPS Load" "%"
FIELD UPSTEMP "UPS Temp" ""
FIELD runtime "Batt. Run Time" "min."
FIELD DATA   "Data" "All data"

HINWEIS - Da nicht von allen USV's die Ausgabe der Batterie-Temperatur unterstützt wird, kann diese mit dem auskommentieren der nachfolgenden Zeile auch ausgeblendet werden (nur relevanter Ausschnitt):

...
# FIELD UPSTEMP "UPS Temp" ""
...

HINWEIS - Das Hinzufügen von Feldern ist ebenfalls möglich! Nachfolgende Zeile zeigt an, wie die USV an den Server angeschlossen ist nur relevanter Ausschnitt):

...
FIELD cable "Anschlussart" ""
...

Weitere Anpassungen wären z.B. die Übersetzung der angezeigten Spalten in die deutsche Sprache, eine Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/multimon.conf könnte dann wie folgt aussehen (Kommentarzeilen und Leerzeilen werden nicht mit ausgegeben):

# egrep -v '(^.*#|^$)' /etc/apcupsd/multimon.conf
TEMPC
FIELD SYSTEM "System" ""
FIELD MODEL "Modell" ""
FIELD cable "Anschlussart" ""
FIELD STATUS "Status" ""
FIELD battpct "Batterie Ladezustand" "%"
FIELD loadpct "USV Auslastung" "%"
FIELD runtime "Batterie Restlaufzeit" "min."
FIELD utility "Eingangsspannung" "Volt"
FIELD DATA   "Details" "Abfrage"

Dies Konfigurationsdatei /etc/apcupsd/multimon.conf nach der Installation im default-Zustand sieht wie folgt aus:

# cat hosts.conf
# Network UPS Tools - hosts.conf
#
# This file does double duty - it lists the systems that multimon will
# monitor, and also specifies the systems that upsstats is allowed to
# watch.  It keeps people from feeding random addresses to upsstats,
# among other things.  upsimage also uses this file to know who it
# may speak to. upsfstats too.
#
# Usage: list systems running upsd that you want to monitor
#
# MONITOR <address> "<host description>"
#
# Please note, MONITOR must start in column 1 (no spaces permitted)
#
# Example:
# MONITOR 10.64.1.1 "Finance department"
# MONITOR 10.78.1.1 "Sierra High School data room #1"
#
MONITOR 127.0.0.1 "Local Host"

Hier kann die letzte Zeile, wie folgt abgeändert werden (nur relevanter Ausschnitt):

...
MONITOR 127.0.0.1 "usv.tachtler.net"
...

Folgende Anzeigen sind Beispiele für die verschiedenen CGI-Scripte, welche durch Apcupsd bereitgestellt werden
