Description

Installing nethserver-nut, collectd is automatically configured to connect to a local ups and record vital data (battery, input, voltage, etc).
The ups could be connected to another system and queried over the network (the so called slave setup). In this case, data collection would be run on two or more systems, duplicating information and wasting disk space.
I'd suggest to collectd data only from local ups.

I found two problems:

1. If collectd-nut is not installed, the following error is raised:

Jul 13 09:46:00 localhost collectd[12134]: plugin_load: Could not find plugin "nut" in /usr/lib64/collectd
Jul 13 09:46:00 localhost collectd[12134]: Found a configuration for the `nut' plugin, but the plugin isn't loaded or didn't register a configuration callback.

2. When /etc/collectd.d/nut_nethserver.conf is expanded, collectd is not restared
