trigger a send shutdown request to a server when UPS detect a power failure
-
IS there a place in pfsense you can send a comment to the server after a certain discharge percentage is reached from the UPS to trigger the servers to start their shutdowns?

@gstlouis
You didn't mention, which UPS agent software you're running. But anyway, for either you will have to provide a NIS server or alike and run a UPS agent in slave mode on the other devices. -
There's also Network UPS Tools (NUT)
The primary goal of the Network UPS Tools (NUT) project is to provide support for Power Devices, such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies, Power Distribution Units, Automatic Transfer Switches, Power Supply Units and Solar Controllers. NUT provides a common protocol and set of tools to monitor and manage such devices, and to consistently name equivalent features and data points, across a vast range of vendor-specific protocols and connection media types.
It has a FreeBSD package...

There's a pfSense package for it too. And a specific section on the forum for that.
