Sorry if someone already suggested this, but I didn’t see anything when I searched the forum.
Problem/Justification
A way to view the UPS status from the Web UI without having ti use the shell.
Impact
All users who are utilizing TrueNAS with UPS, and don’t have some other solution for UPS monitoring.
User Story
Basically just having some basic indication of whether UPS is on Battery vs on-line power, Run time and Percentage of Battery charged. All of this data is already provided by NUT, and while I am not a developer I would think it would be relatively easy to make it display in a widget. A similar idea is implemented in PFSense’s UPS widget on their dashboard.
I would really like this also. I came here after web searching “Truenas Scale UPS Dashboard Widget” to see if there was one in the pipeline after not being able to find one in the GUI… I’m surprised there isnt one already!, seems like quite an important and handy feature linked to something “critical” that should already be a thing?
Well, I just stuck my toe in the water with Scale - migrated my backup server from Core to Scale as a live test instance.
In Core I could always establish that the UPS service was active from the console screen - reset the service at the host and see the disconnect and reconnect messages on the Core console.
I don’t see these messages on Scale.
