      Good point.

      Quick install procedure for anyone interested. I use a USB connected APC Smart-UPS 750 (SMT750RMI2U) on a completely patched test "XCP-ng 8.3" server. To install ci packages run:

      yum install nut --enablerepo=xcp-ng-ci

      Most important, check that your USV device is properly connected and found using

      lsusb

      it should show something like:

      ...
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 051d:0003 American Power Conversion UPS
...

      Grab details then by:

      lsusb -s 002:002 -v

      which should give you something like

      [12:53 xcp-test ~]# lsusb -s 002:002 -v

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 051d:0003 American Power Conversion UPS
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               2.00
  bDeviceClass            0 (Defined at Interface level)
  bDeviceSubClass         0
  bDeviceProtocol         0
  bMaxPacketSize0        64
  idVendor           0x051d American Power Conversion
  idProduct          0x0003 UPS
  bcdDevice            1.06
  iManufacturer           1 American Power Conversion
  iProduct                2 Smart-UPS 750 FW:UPS 15.1 / ID=18
  iSerial                 3 SERIALXXXXXXXX
  bNumConfigurations      1
...
  Remote Wakeup Enabled

      Based upon this data you can add this information to your ups.conf

      nano /etc/ups/ups.conf

      [apc]
        driver = "usbhid-ups"
        port = "auto"
        vendorid = "051D"
        productid = "0003"
        product = "Smart-UPS 750 FW:UPS 15.1 / ID=18"
        serial = "SERIALXXXXXXXX"
        vendor = "American Power Conversion"
        bus = "002"

      Now add users in nano /etc/ups/upsd.users. "upsmon" is for slave connected devices.

      [admin]
      password = PWXXXXXX
      actions = SET FSD
      instcmds = ALL
      upsmon master

[upsmon]
      password = SLAVEPW
      upsmon slave

      Now add/enable via nano /etc/ups/upsd.conf the required lines. If you want other servers to listen, you need to listen to a non-localhost IP of course.

      LISTEN 127.0.0.1 3493

      Now enable in nano /etc/ups/upsmon.conf the relevant line:

      MONITOR apc@localhost 1 admin PWXXXXXX master

      Now restart services:

      upsdrvctl start
systemctl start nut-server.service
systemctl start nut-monitor.service

      and you should be able to see the USV data by calling:

      upsc apc@localhost

      It should show:

      battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 10
battery.charge.warning: 50
battery.runtime: 3900
battery.runtime.low: 120
battery.type: PbAc
battery.voltage: 27.3
battery.voltage.nominal: 24.0
device.mfr: American Power Conversion
device.model: Smart-UPS 750
device.serial: SERIALXXXXX
device.type: ups
driver.name: usbhid-ups
driver.parameter.bus: 002
driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30
driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2
driver.parameter.port: auto
driver.parameter.product: Smart-UPS 750 FW:UPS 15.1 / ID=18
driver.parameter.productid: 0003
driver.parameter.serial: SERIALXXXXX
driver.parameter.synchronous: auto
driver.parameter.vendor: American Power Conversion
driver.parameter.vendorid: 051D
driver.version: 2.8.0
driver.version.data: APC HID 0.98
driver.version.internal: 0.47
driver.version.usb: libusb-0.1 (or compat)
ups.beeper.status: enabled
ups.delay.shutdown: 20
ups.firmware: UPS 15.1 / ID=18
ups.mfr: American Power Conversion
ups.mfr.date: 2015/08/14
ups.model: Smart-UPS 750
ups.productid: 0003
ups.serial: SERIALXXXXX
ups.status: OL
ups.timer.reboot: -1
ups.timer.shutdown: -1
ups.vendorid: 051d

      HINT#1: I experienced that the bus id of the usb device sometimes changes after reboot. Watch out if you restart the server and adapt your ups.conf accordingly!!!

      HINT#2: You need to open firewall port 3493 if you want to access it from a monitor!

        @rzr Just for curiosity.

        As far as I understand you assess the risk as low for the nut package - and only for that - to use ci-repo. I am fine with that for my personal servers. In terms of staying as close to the stable version in order to avoid potential future upgrade issues, is there a chance to say something about:

        • Would you consider to integrate this into "stable" branch?
        • What would be the next steps on our side to support this?
        • How long would does that roughly take?

        Thank again!

          • Would you consider to integrate this into "stable" branch?

          yes it's the plan, we usually test packages in ci repos for a couple of weeks and once we're happy of the packages set it goes to testing repo, then users can officially test it (and based on feedback (or absence of feedback) then everything lands in update repo after a week or more (it depends on risk or hurry)..

          • What would be the next steps on our side to support this?

          I think nothing should be done your side you did your job before the testing window, early feedback is always appreciated (as long people know what they are doing 😉 )

          But If I were you, just to be safe i would keep trace of packages i have installed from ci or testing repo, in case anything is not going as expected, you can still reinstall those packages from update channel.

          • How long would does that roughly take?

          It depends usually a couple of weeks, but this next batch might be a bit longer because there is a long waited feature planned.

          Check the future announcement in the forum.

          Thank again!

          thank you for the detailed howto, if there is traction for this feature maybe it worth documenting officially, I'll ask product managers.

                Just for the record, I get the same snmp errors with OpenIPMI instead of nut.

                  It's currently in testing and will move to updates if everything (not only nut) is ok:

                  yum install --disablerepo=* \

                      @FritzGerald Thank you for taking the time to write up the install procedure. I was able to follow it on my end and it seems to be working. What commands do you use to set the three services to start up automatically at boot up? Right now if I reboot and run upsc apc@localhost it throws an error until I manually do:

                      upsdrvctl start
systemctl start nut-server.service
systemctl start nut-monitor.service
