BackUps Pro 900 - Is there away to log the UPS load ?

[elkmaster]

As written in the title.
Is there a way to log the current UPS load so that I can identify if there are times where the system tooks a higher load than the average ?

Its a Back-UPS RS 900G FW879.L4 .I USB FWL4

Many questions in order to provide a good answer...

Is your UPS already connected to the FreeNAS server via USB?

Do you have something like an InfluxDB running already for other purposes/logging? What about Grafana?

Do you have experience using NUT? Are you using it or apcupsd for the FreeNAS connection?

EDIT: I guess you want something like this?

yes such a graph would be fine. Currently nothing beside freenas is running. I know (thats all) grafana and the UPS is connected locally via USB and
nut_upsmon is running.

I would expect to have such graph inside freenas reporting for ups... but this is maybe something for a feature request.

Correct, not currently available as a feature.

You can run grafana and influxDB in a jail and either run a script on FreeNAS to push the results from
upsc upsname@FreeNAS_IP:3493 | grep ups.load

to the influxdb, or pull it from a script in the jail.

You might use this kind of script as a guide for how to push numbers to influxDB

I am using Home Assistant to poll the UPS numbers and push it into influx, then just graph it with a Grafana docker container.
