# APC UPSD Input Plugin

This plugin gathers data from one or more [apcupsd daemon][apcupsd_daemon] over
the NIS network protocol. To query a server, the daemon must be running and be
accessible.

⭐ Telegraf v1.12.0
🏷️ hardware, server
💻 all

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks
such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring
plugin ordering. See [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.

[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins

## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Monitor APC UPSes connected to apcupsd
[[inputs.apcupsd]]
  # A list of running apcupsd server to connect to.
  # If not provided will default to tcp://127.0.0.1:3551
  servers = ["tcp://127.0.0.1:3551"]

  ## Timeout for dialing server.
  timeout = "5s"
```
