Generally, upsd and drivers just accumulate state and provide it to clients, so they don't tend to be truly useful by themselves. You could run a custom client that logs and reports state against upsd. You could run upsmon across the network. However, the shutdown process assumes upsmon is local. However, there's a normal plan, and if what you are doing is even sort of normal, it's likely best to do the normal thing, unless you can articulate why you want something different. So: 0) Read some stuff on the web: https://xyproblem.info/ https://dontasktoask.com/ (not quite on point)1) Tell us your situation and what you want to accomplish.2) Tell us why, after having read the docs, you are heading towards a non-standard setup.
To explain the motivation behind my question - I'm looking at tweaking the Fedora RPMs and noticed that currently the "nut" server package requires the "nut-client" package to also be installed (though not the reverse obviously). With some effort we can split things up so one could install just the "nut" package. But I'm thinking this really isn't particularly useful or interesting. But I figured I would ask.
