All power events are logged and, with the Smart-UPS, power quality monitoring can be done and the results logged for later evaluation. UPS testing can be performed at regular intervals and the test results logged as well. Logged data can easily be exported to other applications.
PowerGuardian takes full advantage of NeXTSTEP's Distributed objects to allow multiple clients to monitor any UPS on the network.
PowerGuardian
A Utility That Monitors Uninterruptable Power Supplies and Performs Unattended, Orderly System Shutdown
When PowerGuardian is used with a "Smart" UPS, PowerGuardian utilizes all of the UPS's features for reporting of capacity, use levels, and status. When the status of the UPS changes to battery, the power failure notification and shutdown scripts execute at user defined set points of capacity and/or time since line voltage failure. Shutdown occurs after all other specified tasks are completed. Should power resume before system shutdown, the power resume script is executed to notify all clients monitoring the UPS that power has been restored. With "Dumb" UPS's, PowerGuardian notifies all monitoring clients if the UPS switches status either to or from battery and, if necessary, performs a shutdown of the protected machine after executing the shutdown script. Used with "Dumb" UPS's, the features of PowerGuardian are reduced only in the area of the monitoring and display of the UPS electrical parameters. Notification and shutdown scripts execute based only on time since the UPS can sense line failure.
