Every UPS has: The word "uninterruptible" means that the power supply will act quickly enough to prevent the gear from ever losing power when the main power source goes dark. This means that a UPS system must be capable of activating backup power within 25ms of a power loss. A UPS, which by its very nature is redundant.
Input and Output Monitoring: It's essential to continuously monitor both the input power source and the UPS output. This ensures that connected equipment receives consistent and clean power, safeguarding against fluctuations that could disrupt operations. Battery Health and Performance: Monitoring the status and health of UPS batteries is crucial.
For generic uninterruptible power supplies, PRTG can keep an eye the following parameters, depending on what the device's manufacturer supports: You can monitor many aspects of the health of the PDU itself, and often the power draw of each of the plugs. You can also keep track of how much power each of your devices consumes over time.
If commercial power failures are most likely expected to be rare and brief, an UPS may be only a backup power source at a remote site. However, at least one diesel or propane generator is also present to provide backup power. Unfortunately, many network managers fail to properly monitor their UPS systems.
