Sentry II is a UPS power monitoring application for the Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP, SCO Unixware/Open Desktop, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Red Hat Linux, Tru-64 UNIX, and Novell Netware 4.x, 5.x operating systems. Sentry II monitors the UPS through a cable attached to a serial port on the computer, and the communications interface on the UPS. This connection enables SentryII to check the status of the UPS and to perform a graceful operating system shutdown if required.
Through SentryII’s web browser interface, you can configure shutdown timers and event actions, view and print event logs, and view and print power history graphs and data logs.
You can configure SentryII to perform appropriate actions when an event is detected. The user configurable actions include: logging, broadcasting, paging, e-mail, command file execution, and UPS and operating system shutdown. You can set the delays and intervals of these actions. For example, if utility power fails, you may wish to log the event, broadcast a warning message, page the system administrator, and shutdown the system after a configured time delay.
