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(8) data server, 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
