apcupsd is a daemon for controlling APC UPSes. It is very simple to
configure. If you have an USB based UPS, the default settings should be
useable without further adjustments:
services.apcupsd.enable = true;
This will give you autodetection of USB UPSes, network access limited to
localhost (for security) and the shutdown sequence will be started when
the system when the battery level is below 50 percent, or when the UPS
has calculated that it has 5 minutes or less of remaining power-on time.
You can provide your own configuration file contents with this option:
services.apcupsd.configText = "contents of apcupsd.conf";
Bug/annoyance 1: When apcupsd calls "wall" (on powerfail etc. events),
it prints an error message because stdout is not connected to a tty (it
is connected to the journal):
wall: cannot get tty name: Inappropriate ioctl for device
The message still gets through though, to ctrl-alt-f[1-6] terminals.
Bug/annoyance 2: apcupsd tries to call "mail" (on powerfail etc.
events), and that fails because I'm not passing in any mail program at
the moment (because that would require more configuration options). A
solution to this would be to simply let the user fully configure the
apcupsd event handling logic in nix.
Starting with Zabbix 2.0 the order of data imports is important[*] and will lead
to errors if not done in the right order. Zabbix 1.8 works fine with the swapped
order as well, so this change shouldn't affect any pre-2.0 users.

Quoting from the manual about DBHost:
```
In case of MySQL localhost or empty string results in using a socket. In case of
PostgreSQL only empty string results in attempt to use socket.
```
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/config/zabbix_server
With this commit we should avoid some race conditions in systemd, because if the
host is set to "", there is no condition that postgresql has to be started prior
to the Zabbix server.

This is to avoid (in some cases) constant restarting of the Zabbix server, which
causes odds bugs and crashes in the exit handler (if it's too early during
startup).

We don't need to set $TZ, because we have /etc/localtime. In fact,
setting $TZ without $TZDIR doesn't work anymore since Glibc no longer
contains zone info.
The smartd used to expect a list of devices to monitor. After this patch, it
expects a list of attribute sets, which may have two attributes:
- device: path to the device (required)
- options: smartd options to apply to this particular device (optional)
A concrete example configuration would be:
services.smartd = {
enable = true;
devices = [ { device = "/dev/sda"; } { device = "/dev/sdb"; options = "-d sat"; } ];
};
Furthermore, the config option 'deviceOpts' can be used to configure options
that are applied to *every* device.
will use TCP/IP instead of a Unix domain socket.
* Simplify Zabbix's start condition. Zabbix now retries if the
database is down instead of bailing out.

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

By default -- if this option is unset --, all connected devices will be
monitored. Hard-coding the list of devices is worth-while, though, because this
will also configure smartd to send e-mail messages to 'root' when a test fails.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).
