{

		"devices": ["ttyS0"],

		"ups": {
			'cyberpower': {
				"driver": "powerpanel",
				"port": "/dev/ttyS0",
				"desc": "Cyberpower CP1500AVR"
			}
		},

		"users": {

			}
		},

			"cyberpower": {
				"system": "cyberpower@localhost",

By default upsd listen on 127.0.0.1.

If you want upsd to listen to on other than 127.0.0.1 interface or more that only 127.0.0.1. Override this attribute in a role or environment.

	"nut": {
                ...
                        "listen": [
                                "127.0.0.1",
                                "192.168.1.1"
                              ],
                ...
                    }

If upsmon process must run in SLAVE mode, then set node attribute follows: "users": { "vagrant": { "password": "vagrant", "upsmon": "slave" } },

"upsmon master": false IS INVALID attribute in attributes setup.

First you'll need to install [Virtual Box](https://www.virtualbox.org/), [Vagrant](http://vagrantup.com/) and a UPS

mkdir cookbook && ln -s `pwd` cookbooks/nut

vagrant up [precise|trusty]
