Energy Usage
Path: Logs > Energy Usage
This menu option is not available for all UPS devices.
The cumulative energy usage figures for your UPS device display at the top of the screen, with a week-by-
week breakdown in the table at the bottom of the screen.
Costs and CO

emissions vary greatly by energy source and distribution network. You can obtain a rough
estimate by choosing your country from the Location drop-down box, or use the “(edit)” link to input your
own cost and emissions data.
Editing a location creates a custom location and does not alter the default figures for that location. For
example, if you choose IE-Ireland from the drop-down list and subsequently use edit to change data, then an
entry called Custom (IE-Ireland) is created at the top of the drop-down list.
Firewall Log
Path: Logs > Firewall
If you create a firewall policy, firewall events will be logged here. For more information on implementing a
policy, see “Firewall screen”.
The information can be useful to help the technical support team solve problems.
Log entries contain information about the traffic and the rules action (allowed, discarded). When logged here,
these events are not logged in the main Event Log. See “Event log”.
A firewall log contains up to 50 of the most recent events. The firewall log is cleared when the NMC reboots.
