Getting started#

There are just few easy steps to start monitoring UPS and powering off your server

1. Clone repository using git clone https://github.com/Z4NR34L-Software/server-ups-supervisor.git && cd server-ups-supervisor in your terminal.
2. Edit UPS snmp information in index.js file.

const session = adapter.createSession({
    address: "<YOUR_UPS_SNMP_ADDRESS>"
}, {
    verbose: true
})

3. Create new hosts file executing cp hosts.json.example hosts.json and change it to Your server ssh data.
4. Configure your hosts for permanent SSH access - Go to hosts configuration section.
5. Execute npm install && npm run start to install dependencies and run monitor.

Hosts configuration#

VMWare ESXi#

Presented version: 7.0U2a

1. Open ESXi WebGUI in your browser and log in.
2. Navigate to Host > Click "Actions" > Services > "Enable Secure Shell (SSH)".

3. Next you have to navigate to Host > Manage > System > Autostart and change settings as you have to, in my lab I've set like below

4. After that the last thing is setting SSH service to start with ESXi host.

• Go to Host > Manage > Services.
• Right-click on TSM-SSH.
