Provide information (and alerts) for apcupsd connected Uninterruptible Power Supplies.

This plugin periodically checks the configured APCUPSD Network Information Server(s) using [apcaccess](https://github.com/mapero/apcaccess#readme).

## Prerequisites

As mentioned in the documentation of `apcaccess`, you must have an APC UPS Daemon running on a local or remote machine and it has to be
configured as network information server (NIS). For more information visit the apcupsd website.
