[Nut-upsuser] Newbie - SNMP-UPS Driver Issue

[Dean Trasente]

Thanks Charles,
Appreciate the insights and clarity. This points me in the right direction. I will look into the Fink environment along with the nut version under Fink that includes SNMP-UPS support. Will circle back with any additional questions after I have a chance to become familar with Fink and the new NUT installation configuration.

Best regards

Was able to install the package using Brew. Have read the documentation and have been able to get the server running and agent running using MACOSX-UPS driver and connect to UPS via USB. I would however like to integrate a TrippLite UPS with TLNETCARD (IP management card). I see in the documentation that this may be best accomplished using SNMP-UPS driver. However, I do not see the SNMP-UPS drivers with the other drivers in the directory of drivers? It is not clear to me if the Brew install does not provide this driver or if I am missing something different in this concept? Should there be an actual executable file named SNMP-UPS in the same directory with the other drivers?

(I must admit here that I am not great at making executables so this may be something obvious that I am missing in the build). Seems strange to me there would be this many errors in the current code base unless I have a bad configuration parameter or the code is not compatible with Mojave?

You might be able to get Brew to show the details with some sort of "verbose" flag.
