Email alert when running on battery

amd.64_apc · ‎2021-06-30

I am looking for a way to know when my servers have switched from AC power or "Online" to battery or "Offline" and back.

Is this possible? if so how?

I am currently running 3 servers, each on their own Back-UPS RS 1000G. I am running PowerChute Personal Edition 3.0.2.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thank You

i honestly have no idea how to do it personally when using PCPE or that scripting thread I sent you to.

Unfortunately, our software that works with our back ups products doesn't have software with this capability. Our more advanced software that works with our smart ups line does mainly because it's designed to work with server environments which are more critical.

Even if it takes a third party app I am ok with that as well. So long as it is not bulky.

What I would like is to get an email if the server has been running on battery for 5 minutes. Is this possible?
