Works very well! I'm not sure about up-load, though. It seems like it is expecting you to use 80% or 90% and below is a bad thing. For me, this will not work. I try to minimize load and get battery runtime.
This was quite simple once you get NUT configured. The SNMP config documentation was a bit lacking so I will share what mine looks like...
#etc/ups.conf #this is for APC's snmp use called powernet [apclocation01]#this can be anything you want, it's for your reference, but must be unique driver = snmp-ups port = 192.168.1.10#changethis community = public#changethis snmp_version = v1 mibs = apcc pollfreq = 60
Also I would suggest using a variable that each of the xymon_nut* ext scripts can look at, it's a bit annoying to change them all, but here is how I did it:
#the default destination directory is /usr/local/ups find . -name "xymon_nut*sh" -exec sed -i "s,\/usr\/bin\/upsc,\/usr\/local\/ups\/bin\/upsc," '{}' \; #this is to specify where the NUT server is find . -name "xymon_nut*sh" -exec sed -i "s,host.example.com,127.0.0.1," '{}' \; #these are your unique names in the statements of ups.conf so it will contact NUT with bin/upsc apc1 at host.example.com and bin/upsc apc2 at host.example.com find . -name "xymon_nut*sh" -exec sed -i "s,apc1000,apc1\ apc2\ apc3," '{}' \;

I will definitely be trying this out in the next few days.
Thanks a bunch for sharing!

I just added a new entry to the Xymonton monitors page.
The set of scripts is to monitor and graph AC input voltage, AC output voltage, battery charge %, battery voltagee, and UPS Load % of UPSes monitored by the Network UPS tools (NUT) suite.
NUT is a great open-source UPS monitoring project who's primary goal as stated on their website is: "...to provide reliable monitoring of UPS and PDU hardware and ensure safe shutdowns of the systems which are connected. We attempt to monitor every kind of UPS and PDU, given sufficient interest."
NUT may be found at http://www.networkupstools.org/
The latest versions of the xymon_nut_*.sh scripts, as well as instruction on installing them may be found at http://www.revpol.com/xymon_nut_scripts
Hope these are useful to someone. :)
P.S. I am not affiliated with the NUT project in any way other than that I recommend, install and support it at my client's sites.
