Open „UPS Settings" Tab

Click on the „UPS Settings" tab in the app — the second tab in the navigation bar, right next to "Dashboard".

Click the „UPS Settings" tab (see mockup)
Here you enter the IP address and protocol of your UPS

💡 Which protocol? For APC and Eaton → SNMP v2c. If you already have a Linux server running NUT/upsd → NUT.

📡 SNMP must be enabled on the UPS. For APC: configure the NMC (Network Management Card). For Eaton: via the web GUI under Network → SNMP.

Configure Your UPS

Enter your UPS network details. The app supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 for APC, Eaton and other SNMP-capable UPS devices, as well as NUT for Linux-based setups.

Enter the IP address of the UPS (or NMC card)
Choose Protocol — usually SNMP v2c
For SNMP: enter the Community string (default: public)
Poll interval: 30 seconds recommended
Shutdown thresholds: Battery ≤ 20% or runtime ≤ 5 min
For SNMP v3: use SHA auth + AES privacy for best security

💡 APC OIDs are detected automatically — no manual OID entry needed. Eaton and RFC 1628 are also auto-detected.

Click the „🔌 Test Connection" button
Result appears within 2–5 seconds
On success: UPS model, battery level, status displayed
Timeout: check firewall, SNMP community string, UPS reachability
SNMP UDP port 161 must be open from the server to the UPS

⚠ No result? Check: firewall rules for UDP 161, community string, SNMP enabled on the UPS/NMC.

Add Hyper-V Host

Switch to the „Hyper-V Hosts" tab and click „Add". Enter the hostname/IP and credentials of a domain administrator.

Tab „Hyper-V Hosts" → „+ Add"
Hostname or IP of the Hyper-V server
Username (e.g. DOMAIN\Administrator)
WinRM port: 5985 (HTTP, default) or 5986 (HTTPS)
Shutdown order: 0 = shut down first
WinRM must be active on the Hyper-V host: Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Multiple hosts with different order numbers are supported

💡 Enable WinRM: Run PowerShell as Admin on the Hyper-V host: Enable-PSRemoting -Force

Test Host & Verify VMs

Click „Test Connection" in the Hosts tab. The app connects via WinRM/PowerShell Remoting to the Hyper-V host and lists all virtual machines.

Select host in the list → „🔌 Test Connection"
Success: all VMs on the host are listed
„Show VMs" for a detailed VM overview
Per VM: choose action — Shutdown (graceful) or Suspend
WinRM error: run winrm quickconfig on the Hyper-V host
VMs are auto-detected on shutdown — no manual entry needed

💡 Per-VM action: Right-click a VM (Hosts tab → VMs) to set "Suspend" instead of "Shutdown" for critical VMs — their state is saved and restored faster on next boot.
