UPS control with NUT, PFSense+ and Zabbix

In this article I am going to explain how I got control of my UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) installation using NUT via PFSense+ so I can monitor and manage the UPS from the main router in my HomeLab. In addition I will show how I have configured Zabbix with a new NUT template for monitoring, alarm generation and long term metrics for my UPS.

One of the components one should have in a HomeLab is an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). An UPS will protect your HomeLab when the input power source or mains power fails, giving you time to save your data/work and shutdown your HomeLab without data lost or data corruption.
