What is UPS monitoring software?

UPS monitoring software shows you the state of your power protection before a fault or an outage gets harder to manage. In a mixed fleet, it also gives you one consistent way to read supported equipment from different manufacturers.

What it monitors

A UPS can expose status, battery charge, runtime remaining, load, input and output voltage, temperature and alarms through its network-management card or another interface. MayaUPS brings PDU, ATS and environmental sensors into the same view when those devices expose usable SNMP data.

Why SNMP matters

On a professional LAN, SNMP is the common monitoring path. MayaUPS supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 with encrypted stored credential profiles, SNMPv3 authentication and privacy, a per-device connection test, and discovery that you start yourself, reads only, and stays inside one /24.

Why RFC-1628 matters

RFC-1628 defines the standard UPS MIB, the common baseline monitoring tools can count on across brands. MayaUPS uses that standard data where it exists and layers vendor-specific decoding on top when a profile exposes richer detail.

Why battery data matters

Battery service-life data lets you plan replacement before the available runtime falls short. MayaUPS tracks installation date, expected life, preventive-maintenance date and temperature-adjusted estimates, and reminds you about 30 days ahead.

Why shutdown testing matters

Automatic shutdown touches critical systems, so the policy, trigger and target order deserve a check before anything is armed. MayaUPS gives you a test run that switches nothing off for exactly that.

What a good dashboard should show

For daily work you want readable alarm states, current fleet status, history charts over 24 h / 7 d / 30 d, CSV export, grouped email alerts and access that matches each role. Those are the signals that turn raw UPS telemetry into maintenance and incident decisions.

Frequently asked questions

How much does MayaUPS cost?

Tell us how many UPS units you run and where they are. You get a written proposal for your fleet, not a rate card that fits nobody.

Does MayaUPS run in the cloud?

It runs on your own network, and monitoring and shutdown never depend on anything outside it. There is also an optional Cloud portal, in limited beta, that puts several sites on one screen: read-only, hosted in Quebec, and off until you switch it on. Your sites behave the same whether you use it or not.

Which operating systems are supported?

Windows and Linux, including Docker on Linux. The optional agent that shuts your servers down in order runs on Windows and Linux too.
