David, we use a product called an egg that connects to our weather duck.
Our weather duck monitors all environmental parameters in our data center as
well as power room (temp humidity, airflow, etc). The egg clamps around
each leg of the utility company service and can tell it we lose power.
It monitors our entire computer room rather than just our AS400s.

Subject: Loss of Power - any unique notification?
Well, someone pulled the plug this morning - for the WHOLE computer room. It
took a few minutes to find out that something happened, because the system I
was on was still being supported by a UPS. However, our production machine
started dropping after 4 minutes.
I know there is a message that comes when the system looses power, but
99.999% of the time, that is followed within microseconds by another message
that says that the power is back up again. We have three machines that are
getting these messages 5 - 10 or more times a day.
Is there any way to get notified when the power REALLY goes down? I was
looking in the log, and didn't see anything that showed up. We use the old
tool's MSGCTL, so I could/should be able to send a message if I was able to
determine if there was a "real" power outage.
Any ideas?
Dave
