Source files of upsrrd daemon and sample init.d script
are attached. Differences from upslog are minimal:
data is recorded by rrd_update using fixed log format,
log format can't be changed from command line,
so option -f and most parts of parser are removed,
invalid values are printed as 'U', and there is
no need for log rotation.
Errors while updating database will be written to syslog.
I intentionally left the rest of parser for
possible modifications of list variables in the future.
To complile daemon sources should be placed into the clients
subdirectory of nut package and appropriate Makefile rules
should be created (based on upslog rules).
Obviously, upsrrd should be linked with -lrrd and requres
librrd2-dev for building and librrd2 for execution.
Sample init.d script has hardcoded daemon command line,
which should be placed into config file.
Database could be created with following command
(I also use rrdcollect and place ups logs there):
rrdtool create /var/lib/rrdcollect/ups.rrd -s 30 \
DS:bat_charge:GAUGE:75:0:100 DS:line_voltage:GAUGE:75:0:U \
DS:ups_load:GAUGE:75:0:100 DS:ups_temp:GAUGE:75:U:U \
DS:line_freq:GAUGE:75:0:U DS:bat_voltage:GAUGE:75:0:U \
DS:bat_runtime:GAUGE:75:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:10:21
I think this daemon with some reasonable defaults
might be appropriate for most users.

/* Basic theory of operation:

*
* This version does the parsing pass once, and creates a linked list of

* That means the main loop just has to run the linked list and call
