- config NUT_SERVER
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Include server components (upsd)"
- help
- upsd is responsible for serving the data from the drivers to the
- clients. It connects to each driver and maintains a local cache of the
- current state. Queries from the clients are served from this cache, so
- delays are minimal. This program is essential, and must be running at
- all times to actually make any use out of the drivers and clients.
- default y

- config NUT_CLIENTS_UPSC
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Include command line client (upsc)"
- help
- upsc is provided as a quick way to poll the status of a UPS server. It
- can be used inside shell scripts and other programs that need UPS data
- but don't want to include the full interface.
- default y
-
- config NUT_CLIENTS_UPSLOG
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Include logging client (upslog)"
- help
- upslog is a daemon that will poll a UPS at periodic intervals, fetch the
- variables that interest you, format them, and write them to a file.
- default n

- config NUT_CLIENTS_UPSCMD
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Include UPS controller (upscmd)"
- help
- upscmd allows you to invoke "instant commands" in your UPS hardware. Not
- all hardware supports this, so check the list with -l to see if anything
- will work on your equipment. On hardware that supports it, you can use
- this program to start and stop battery tests, invoke a front panel test
- (beep!), turn the load on or off, and more.
- default n
-
- config NUT_CLIENTS_UPSRW
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Include UPS variable editor (upsrw)"
- help
- upsrw allows you to view and change the read/write variables inside your
- UPS. It sends commands via the upsd to your driver, which configures the
- hardware for you. The list of variables that allow you to change their
- values is based on the capabilities of your UPS equipment. Not all
- models support this feature. Typically, cheaper hardware does not
- support any of them.
- default n
-
- config NUT_CLIENTS_UPSMON
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Include monitor and shutdown controller (upsmon)"
- help
- upsmon is the client process that is responsible for the most important
- part of UPS monitoring--shutting down the system when the power goes
- out. It can call out to other helper programs for notification purposes
- during power events. upsmon can monitor multiple systems using a single
- process. Every UPS that is defined in the upsmon.conf configuration file
- is assigned a power value and a type (slave or master).
- default y
-
- config NUT_CLIENTS_UPSSCHED
- depends on NUT_CLIENTS_UPSMON
- bool "Include helper for triggering events from upsmon (upssched)"
- help
- upssched was created to allow users to execute programs at times relative
- to events being monitored by upsmon. The original purpose was to allow
- for a shutdown to occur after some fixed period on battery, but there are
- other uses that are possible.
- You can alternatively write your own script and save some space.
- default n
-
- config NUT_SSL
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Build with support for OpenSSL"
- help
- SSL allows sessions between upsd and clients to be encrypted and can
- also be used to authenticate servers. This means that stealing port
- 3493 from upsd will no longer net you interesting passwords. SSL is
- available via OpenSSL on OpenWRT (NSS doesn't seem to work). If you
- are happy with using passwords to authenticate clients, you can save
- some space and build NUT without SSL support.
- default n
-
- config NUT_DRIVER_USB
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Build with support for USB drivers"
- help
- If you have a UPS connected via USB, select this.
- default y
-
- config NUT_DRIVER_SNMP
- depends on PACKAGE_nut
- bool "Build with support for SNMP drivers"
- help
- If you have a UPS you can connect to via SNMP, select this.
