# The sysutils/nut,-main port

## nut-2.6.5p1 – UPS monitoring program supporting many brands

## Description

    Network UPS Tools is a collection of programs which provide a common
    interface for monitoring and administering Uninterruptible Power
    Supply (UPS), Power Distribution Unit (PDU), and Solar Controller
    Device (SCD) hardware. It uses a layered approach to connect all
    of the parts.

    Drivers are provided for a wide assortment of equipment. They
    understand the specific language of each device and map it back to
    a compatibility layer. This means both an expensive high end UPS,
    a simple "power strip" PDU, or any other power device can be handled
    transparently with a uniform management interface.

    This information is cached by the network server upsd, which then
    answers queries from the clients. upsd contains a number of access
    control features to limit the abilities of the clients. Only
    authorized hosts may monitor or control your hardware if you wish.
    Since the notion of monitoring over the network is built into the
    software, you can hang many systems off one large UPS, and they
    will all shut down together. You can also use NUT to power on, off
    or cycle your data center nodes, individually or globally through
    PDU outlets.
