# What is UPSMON ?

The UPSMON software package is a client/server application for networks and local workstations and which is used for monitoring UPS. The server-module of the UPSMON Software is the Upsagent, which communicates via RS-232 or via TCP/IP network cable with the UPS. After start of the Upsagent it collects as a background program the messages send from the UPS. The Upsagent interprets received messages and makes them available to the client-module, the Upsview program. The transport of the data to the Upsview can be done via TCP/IP or via shared memory on local computer.

If the Upsagent detects voltage variations or a powerloss it can execute different command scripts, which for example may shutdown the server or send warnings to the connected users. These scripts which are a part of the UPSMON can be adjusted to your demands.

When a change in the alarm-status takes place, there is a corresponding file (i.e. shell script/command file) that will be executed when activating or deactivating alarms. When a alarm status remains too long, the user can customize the system to shutdown.

The customer can also shutdown the UPS to save autonomy time, which allows the system to gracefully shutdown itself in case of a repeating alarm situation. For configuration all UPSMON package, mainly for Upsagent, is used Upsetup module.

The Upsview is used for operating and monitoring the active Upsagent software connected to an UPS. You can check the status of the UPS with many various ways, for example how block scheme or table of alarms . With the Upsview you can as well constantly monitor and evaluate the event protocol (logfile) which is permanently updated by the Upsagent.

After the Upsagent service is active, the system is UPS protected and safe. The Upsview is used to connect to any Upsagent service to visualize UPS data and to inspect the monitoring process. This is possible how remote monitoring also (if on system is installed TCP/IP protocol).
