The Power Event Summary offers a nice visual way of accessing the software's event log.

The Risk Assessment is based on a parameter and component check list.

Clearly, the input voltage is not as steady as you might believe.

There is a Deluxe Edition of the PowerChute software, which is suitable for network management of 5+UPS units and comfortable mass deployment. However, it is not free.
