NUT-RECORDER(8)                   NUT Manual                   NUT-RECORDER(8)



NAME
       nut-recorder - utility to record device status and values changes

SYNOPSIS
       nut-recorder device-name [output-file] [interval]

DESCRIPTION
       nut-recorder is an utility to record sequences from running devices
       (such as power failures, or any other value changes) from upsd, and
       dump it in a .seq format.

       The .seq file can then be used by the dummy-ups(8) driver to replay the
       sequence.

OPTIONS
       device-name
           Record the changes of this device. The format for this option is
           devname[@hostname[:port]]. The default hostname is "localhost".

       output-file
           Optional. Data will be saved to this file. The default is
           dummy-device.seq.

       interval
           Optional. The status of the device will be checked every interval.
           The default is 5 seconds.

EXAMPLES
       To record data from ups1@host1 every 10 seconds:

           $ nut-recorder ups1@host1' ups1-output.seq 10
           . . .
           battery.charge: 100.0
           battery.voltage: 13.9
           battery.voltage.nominal: 13.6
           ups.status: OL
           . . .
           battery.charge: 90.0
           ups.status: OB
           . . .

       You can then define a dummy device in ups.conf(5):

           [ups-test]
                   driver = dummy-ups
                   port = ups1-output.seq
