This allows tracking and alerting on things like remaining -battery capacity. - -Depending on the uderlying driver, it may provide the following charts -and metrics: - -1. Capacity: The power supply capacity expressed as a percentage. - * capacity\_now - -2. Charge: The charge for the power supply, expressed as microamphours. - * charge\_full\_design - * charge\_full - * charge\_now - * charge\_empty - * charge\_empty\_design - -3.

It defaults to trying to display everything. - -### notes - -* Most drivers provide at least the first chart. Battery powered ACPI -compliant systems (like most laptops) provide all but the third, but do -not provide all of the metrics for each chart. - -* Current, energy, and voltages are reported with a _very_ high precision -by the power\_supply framework. Usually, this is far higher than the -actual hardware supports reporting, so expect to see changes in these -charts jump instead of scaling smoothly. - -* If `max` or `full` attribute is defined by the driver, but not a -corresponding `min or `empty` attribute, then netdata will still provide -the corresponding `min` or `empty`, which will then always read as zero. -This way, alerts which match on these will still work. - ---- - -[]() |
