MailPower

Trigger email alerts based on APC UPS status info

Configuration

Alert expressions are constructed using Python syntax and built-in keywords. The keywords are also used within the email subject and body templates. The keywords are as follows:

• online (bool) : True if the UPS is online, False if it is not
• status (str) : The status text (ONLINE, OFFLINE, ONBATT) from the UPS
• charge_pct (float) : The percent charge remaining in the battery
• time_remaining_min (int) : Estimated time remaining, in minutes
• date (datetime) : UPS-provided date
• start_time (datetime) : Time that UPS last came online
• line_voltage (float) : Current line voltage reading
• load_pct (float) : Current load percent
• battery_voltage (float) : Current battery voltage
• ups_name (str) : UPS name
• ups_model (str) : UPS model
• ups_hostname (str) : UPS hostname

Example

    {
            "alertType" : 1,
            "alertExpression" : "not online and charge_pct < 99",
            "subject" : "Offline and power at {charge_pct}% {PROD}",
            "description" : "Server is offline and power is at {charge_pct}",
            "to" : "andy@test.com"
    }

Running

python MailPower.py

When MailPower starts it will look for the "config.json" file. A different config file can be provided using the -c <config file path> command-line argument.

Requires apcaccess package, which is not installed by MailPower.
