December 28, 2021 - TBH I am unclear why I thought the snp module would cause that other than it is a periodic pull of data from the ups. I thought the nut client was same with nut server, but if nut server is a push to the nut client that sounds interesting, will take a look. Click to expand... I believe you are correct that the polling nature of the SNMP monitoring is going to cause slight difference in when each NUT server that's monitoring it would see the UPS transition but the NUT clients do maintain a connection to the NUT server and will see the transition essentially instantly.

r/Proxmox on Reddit: Ups monitor on host or in vm?
January 6, 2024 -
I want to use Network UPS Tools to monitor my APC UPS via USB. I have two ways I can do this:
-
Install directly in my Proxmox host, exposing port 3493 etc
-
USB host passthrough to my Homeassistant OS and use the NUT addon
What would you recommend and why?

handling it via Proxmox is easy and the following is a good setup guide which I used. https://www.kreaweb.be/diy-home-server-2021-software-proxmox-ups/ Providing there's no outside access to it, opening the port for nut shouldn't be an issue. Plus having it run on Proxmox means that the shutdown on your VMs etc is triggered from there.

I'm running OpenMediaVault in a VM, and there's a plugin for UPS monitoring. So I passed through the USB connection and have a nifty built-in integration with graphs, alerts, etc. For Proxmox host, I then installed NUT in client mode to monitor the UPS server from my VM. So it can still issue commands to shutdown the host when battery is low, but the battery is "physically" connected to my VM. Edit: oh, and I'm also monitoring it from my Home Assistant instance with the NUT integration, so I can see battery status from my dashboard.
