      @dennypage - actually, here is a list of all the CyberPower monitored variables from UPS status page. First one is with the interruptonly flag set, the second one is the full set (i.e. regular with polling enabled). I figured it would easier for you to diff the sets this way:

      Interrupt Only:
      battery.charge
      battery.runtime
      battery.runtime.low
      device.mfr
      device.model
      device.serial
      device.type
      driver.flag.interruptonly
      driver.name
      driver.parameter.pollfreq
      driver.parameter.pollinterval
      driver.parameter.port
      driver.parameter.synchronous
      driver.version
      driver.version.data
      driver.version.internal
      driver.version.usb
      ups.beeper.status
      ups.mfr
      ups.model
      ups.productid
      ups.serial
      ups.status
      ups.vendorid

      Full (Polling Enabled):
      battery.charge
      battery.charge.low
      battery.charge.warning
      battery.mfr.date
      battery.runtime
      battery.runtime.low
      battery.type
      battery.voltage
      battery.voltage.nominal
      device.mfr
      device.model
      device.serial
      device.type
      driver.name
      driver.parameter.pollfreq
      driver.parameter.pollinterval
      driver.parameter.port
      driver.parameter.synchronous
      driver.version
      driver.version.data
      driver.version.internal
      driver.version.usb
      input.voltage
      input.voltage.nominal
      output.voltage
      ups.beeper.status
      ups.delay.shutdown
      ups.delay.start
      ups.load
      ups.mfr
      ups.model
      ups.productid
      ups.realpower.nominal
      ups.serial
      ups.status
      ups.test.result
      ups.timer.shutdown
      ups.timer.start
      ups.vendorid

      Hope this helps.

          That's what I expected. With 23.01, pfSense moved to nut 2.8.0. I expect that it's a regression in nut itself.

            I also added the "interruptonly" flag to the "Extra Arguments to driver" at approx 11:40 AM. No signal 10 errors/issues found in /var/log/system.log so far (little over 3 hours).

              Also if it helps, XG-7100 has a Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3558 @ 2.20GHz processor and my TrueNAS system is a SuperMicro Server MB with an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3758 @ 2.20GHz processor, so both amd64 architecture.

                  @shaffergr, @tman222, @JonathanLee Can you check on your systems and see if you have any existing core dumps from usbhid-ups?

                  They would probably be in /root, but just in case you can run

                  find / -name '*.core'

                  to search the entire system. Thanks.

                    @dennypage Yeah same issue. Did a clean install upgraded from 2.6.0 up to 23.01 then added the package still no luck. Says daemon pending. Then reloaded my xml config and still no go.

                      I delete and reinstall nut and i have the same problem.
                      Why i see Can't connect to UPS [APC] (usbhid-ups-APC): No such file or directory
                      Pf is not able to find that file, is not generated or what?

                          Can you confirm that you have rebooted or done an unplug/replug following reload of config and install of nut? There is a common permissions issue with usb until you do that.

                          Please confirm that you are using UPS Type of "Local USB" with driver "usbhid", and that you have nothing in the Extra Arguments to driver section, and the all sections of the Advanced settings are empty. [You can stuff back later if needed]

                          Where do you see "daemon pending"? In the widget? In the status page (Services / UPS / Status)? In both? If the status page, what happens if you refresh the browser? Does it still show pending?

                          Lastly, can you check your system logs and post any entries matching "usbhid" since the reboot please? Thanks

                            I was afraid of that. Since nut is not running as root, it won't be able to write to /root.

                            Would you mind executing the following in a shell and then regenerating the crash?

                            sysctl kern.corefile=/var/tmp/%N.core

                            This will cause the core file to be written in /var/tmp which is world writable. Note that this setting will not persist across reboots.

                            Thanks

                              It's not a file per se. That is a message from upsd saying that the driver isn't running.

                              Please run usbconfig and confirm that the ups appears there. Also, can you confirm that you have rebooted or done an unplug/replug following reload of config and install of nut? There is a common permissions issue with usb until you do that.

                              Please confirm that you are using UPS Type of "Local USB" with driver "usbhid", and that you have nothing in the Extra Arguments to driver section, and the all sections of the Advanced settings are empty. [You can stuff back later if needed]

                              Lastly, please search your system logs for items matching "usbhid" and post the result.

                                @dennypage done. removed the "interruptonly" and hit "save". Console shows:

                                    @shaffergr I don't think it will be necessary, but if it doesn't generate a core file, add this:

                                    sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1

                                        @lcbbcl I need the messages from the usbhid-ups process. The messages from upsd are expected when usbhid-ups isn't running.

                                        If you don't have any log entries from usbhid-ups, then please post your ups settings (Services / UPS / Settings)

                                        I'll be away for a bit... but will look at it when I'm back.

                                            @lcbbcl If you re-save your ups settings, it will restart the processes and you should be able to find usbhid entries.
