Monitoring of APC UPS without SNMP support

I would use `apcaccess` from a collector via our Groovy Expect functionality. You'll of course have to also configure apcupsd to listen on something other than localhost.

You'll get a list of values like this:

From there you can transform the values to pull out the extraneous text ("Volts", "Register 1", etc) and reprint it all to our Key/Value output standard, or you can write a few regexes for your datapoints to only pick out the good stuff (less clean, but less code).

I'm happy to put this in as an official DataSource request, but I won't have a timeline for you.

You might also checkout the output from the PowerShell script. It could be just a few simple tweaks to getting it working with LM.
