UPS via NUT?
Is there any way I can access a UPS (via NUT) through the web interface?
In OS 6.9.2 I have "Enable network monitoring of attached UPS" ticked, and Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.7.4 is running on the NAS. I'm using an Eaton Pro 1200 UPS and its all working fine, but i have no network access to view it (or adjust the settings directly on the UPS).
Is there at least a shell command to actively/live monitor the UPS levels or view the UPS logs? I found one for Windows (buggy), but I need to review remotely (ie like a ReadyNAS App).

That control is to allow other devices to get UPS messages, so they will also shutdown when the battery drains. It doesn't give you web access or more control over settings. If the PC is always on, you could try reverse the setup (connecting the UPS cable to the PC, and remotely monitoring the UPS in the NAS).
There is some information in the log zip file - for instance ups.log, usb_devices.log. Error messages show up in dmesg.log, kernel.log, and system.log.
From the NAS shell, you can get the UPS status via upsc UPS. Both upscmd and upsrw are installed, but changes you make there might not be sticky (e.g., might not survive a NAS reboot or a firmware upgrade).
