## Common questions

### What should I check when the Docker container asks for APCUPSD_HOST on UnRAID?

Check the host or service where APCUPSd is configured. The UnRAID user had an APC UPS working in UnRAID but could not find where APCUPSd was configured.

### Does the exporter require an InfluxDB database?

Yes. The Docker-based APCUPSd daemon sends UPS-device information to InfluxDB.

### Is there vendor guidance for using apcupsd with an SMC1500I?

A Schneider Electric community thread marked solved covers using apcupsd with an SMC1500I. The available snippet does not provide the specific configuration details or fix.

### Does the Docker image include the APCUPSd tool?

The image is built to output UPS statistics using an included version of the APCUPSd tool.
