-# APC UPS collector
-
-Monitors different APC UPS models and retrieves status information using `apcaccess` tool.
-
-## Configuration
-
-If using [our official native DEB/RPM packages](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/packages.md), make sure `netdata-plugin-chartsd` is installed.
-
-Edit the `charts.d/apcupsd.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
-directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
-sudo ./edit-config charts.d/apcupsd.conf

+
+## Overview
+
+Monitor APC UPS performance with Netdata for optimal uninterruptible power supply operations. Enhance your power supply reliability with real-time APC UPS metrics.
+
+The collector uses the `apcaccess` tool to contact the `apcupsd` daemon and get the APC UPS statistics.
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+By default, with no configuration provided, the collector will try to contact 127.0.0.1:3551 with using the `apcaccess` utility.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per ups
+
+Metrics related to UPS. Each UPS provides its own set of the following metrics.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| apcupsd.charge | charge | percentage |
+| apcupsd.battery.voltage | voltage, nominal | Volts |
+| apcupsd.input.voltage | voltage, min, max | Volts |
+| apcupsd.output.voltage | absolute, nominal | Volts |
+| apcupsd.input.frequency | frequency | Hz |
+| apcupsd.load | load | percentage |
+| apcupsd.load_usage | load | Watts |
+| apcupsd.temperature | temp | Celsius |
+| apcupsd.time | time | Minutes |
+| apcupsd.online | online | boolean |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+
+The following alerts are available:
+
+| Alert name | On metric | Description |
+|:------------|:----------|:------------|
+| [ apcupsd_ups_charge ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/apcupsd.conf) | apcupsd.charge | average UPS charge over the last minute |
+| [ apcupsd_10min_ups_load ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/apcupsd.conf) | apcupsd.load | average UPS load over the last 10 minutes |
+| [ apcupsd_last_collected_secs ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/apcupsd.conf) | apcupsd.load | number of seconds since the last successful data collection |
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### Install charts.d plugin
+
+If [using our official native DEB/RPM packages](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/UPDATE.md#determine-which-installation-method-you-used), make sure `netdata-plugin-chartsd` is installed.
+
+
+#### Required software
+
+Make sure the `apcaccess` and `apcupsd` are installed and running.
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `charts.d/apcupsd.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config charts.d/apcupsd.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The config file is sourced by the charts.d plugin. It's a standard bash file.
+
+The following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured for the apcupsd collector.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| apcupsd_sources | This is an array of apcupsd sources. You can have multiple entries there. Please refer to the example below on how to set it. | 127.0.0.1:3551 | False |
+| apcupsd_timeout | How long to wait for apcupsd to respond. | 3 | False |
+| apcupsd_update_every | The data collection frequency. If unset, will inherit the netdata update frequency. | 1 | False |
+| apcupsd_priority | The charts priority on the dashboard. | 90000 | False |
+| apcupsd_retries | The number of retries to do in case of failure before disabling the collector. | 10 | False |
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Multiple apcupsd sources
+
+Specify a multiple apcupsd sources along with a custom update interval
+
+```yaml
+# add all your APC UPSes in this array - uncomment it too
+declare -A apcupsd_sources=(
+ ["local"]="127.0.0.1:3551",
+ ["remote"]="1.2.3.4:3551"
+)
+
+# how long to wait for apcupsd to respond
+#apcupsd_timeout=3
+
+# the data collection frequency
+# if unset, will inherit the netdata update frequency
+apcupsd_update_every=5
+
+# the charts priority on the dashboard
+#apcupsd_priority=90000
+
+# the number of retries to do in case of failure
+# before disabling the module
+#apcupsd_retries=10
+
+```
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+To troubleshoot issues with the `apcupsd` collector, run the `charts.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The output
+should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
+
+- Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on
+ your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`.
+
+ ```bash
+ cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
+ ```
+
+- Switch to the `netdata` user.
+
+ ```bash
+ sudo -u netdata -s
+ ```
+
+- Run the `charts.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
+
+ ```bash
+ ./charts.d.plugin debug 1 apcupsd
+ ```
+
