Image-generating helper for upsstats.cgi

Usage

upsimage.cgi

Overview

upsimage.cgi generates the graphical bars that make up the right side of the page generated by upsstats.cgi(8). These represent the current battery charge, utility voltage, and UPS load where available.

The images are in PNG format, and are created by linking to Boutell’s excellent gd library.

For details about configuring some popular web servers to run NUT CGI programs, please see the upsset.conf(5) page.

Access control

upsstats will only talk to upsd(8) servers that have been defined in your hosts.conf(5). If it complains about "Access to that host is not authorized", check that file first.
