Why TA-ups exists
A UPS is the last line of defense and the least monitored thing in the rack. TA-ups tracks load, runtime-left, battery health and transfer events so a failing battery or overload shows up before an outage does.
What it collects
- Load and input/output voltage
- Runtime-remaining estimates
- Battery health and transfer events
Runs on stock tools
No daemons, no agents, no exotic collectors - it shells out to well-known CLIs or reads sysfs, and parses the result into Splunk events.
External tools used: nut-client or apcupsd.
