UPS/PDU/Genset Monitoring
AggreGate Network Manager monitors all types of Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) devices and Power Distribution Units (PDUs), regardless of their vendor:
Advanced UPS units
that are initially network-enabled or equipped with add-on Ethernet modules are monitored via SNMP protocol.
Simple UPS units
that only have a serial console can be monitored using the external Serial-over-IP converters by processing their console status output.
AggreGate provides the overview tables/maps and device-specific dashboards visualizing the spot values and historical trends of diverse KPIs:
| Unit operational status | Remaining battery time |
| List of active alerts | Load percentages |
| Bypass mode state | Temperature readings |
| Per-input voltages, currents and frequencies | Any other metrics exposed via SNMP |
| Per-battery statuses and charge/discharge currents |

SCADA/HMI
AggreGate SCADA/HMI-based reference solution for managing the power systems of base cellular stations. A number of installations within the international communications networks (Airtel, Telenor, Etisalat, and others).
Diesel Generator Monitoring
Data center power and energy management coverage won't be complete without a vendor-agnostic monitoring of the Diesel Generator Units (DGUs). AggreGate can connect to DGUs via any standard communication protocol, including Modbus, OPC, OPC UA, SNMP, and more.
Similarly to UPS/PDU monitoring, the Genset monitoring functionality covers the overall and device-specific storage, charting, trending, reporting, and further processing for:
| Fuel levels | Oil pressure | Water and oil temperatures |
| Battery status | Power output details | Current alarms |
| Maintenance status | Manual shutdown switch status | Any other available metrics |
Alert Consolidation
There are several classes of situations detected by the monitoring server:
- Threshold violation (detected by polling a certain metric)
- Asynchronous error notification (received as a unit-generated event, e.g. as an SNMP trap)
Events can seriously range in their severity, starting from the notice-level "pending scheduled maintenance" notifications and up to the critical "battery low" warnings. All UPS/Genset events are stored in the server database and forwarded to notify the system administrators via popup windows, sound alarms or E-Mail/SMS messages.
