Hi, what do you think of an accounting for electricity, the same as the network port on a switch only here of a PDU switch.

Would be "nice" to have as long as it can monitor on a per AMP as opposed to WATTs. Having output in WATTs can be nice when looking at components in a machine, but when looking at power draw in a closet or rack having WATTs requires more math to be done where AMPs is the measurement that you will almost always need.
Tying it into the alerting system based on PDU total and per portal thresholds would be great too.
At the end of the day, nice to have, but not really a requirement.

This is on our list, but hasn't been started yet. Its probably something which would need to be sponsored as I think its quite niche.
Adam.
(Sponsoring something like this would not be too cheap)
