With pfSense 2.7.0 and nut 2.8.2 i still have huge problems with Riello 2200.
Something is off with the version numbers here. pfSense-pkg-nut version 2.8.2 requires pfSense version 23.09/2.7.1 or above. Are you sure you are not running pfSense-pkg-nut version 2.8.0?
Edit: In the other thread you started, it appears that you haven't updated anything since Nov 10th. The pattern you are describing is characteristic of version 2.8.0. Did you go through any of the later posts in that thread? @Unoptanio indicates success with the Riello using version 2.8.2 of the pfSense-pkg-nut on pfsense version 2.7.1.
Thanks!
But where is one to copy these files ? I looked under /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin with no avail.

I am not done reading the thread but this morning I had my second shutdown of pfSense. Same behavior as OP. I don't have a synology but a Proxmox machine hosting a Debian/Docker server.
At both events, everything stayed on except pfSense that shut down. no router, no LAN.
Circa post 104 there are replacement executables that you may use until the next drop of NUT.
Thanks. I did not see it at first.
Are you aware if there is a reason there are no subthreads is Netgate community.
Using Google, I typed "pfsense + the_push_message_when_pfsense_shutdown"
But if I were have been to look under "Nut Package (2.8.1 and above", I may not have read all the 122 messages.
A subthread for this issue would have been greatly appreciated. -

Sorry, can't help you there. I've no association with the forum other than as a user of it.

@dennypage Thank you for the detailed information. I had issues with NUT and replaced it with apcupsd. Which resolved the issue.

I have copied the files in their respective directories.
When I restart NUT service from GUI, I getStatus Alert: The UPS requires attention/var/log/nut is empty
[EDIT 09:14 EST]
I reinstalled the package from GUI in pfSense's package manager:
The usbhid-ups did not get refreshed
The upsmon got refreshed
The system is workingSo either I did something wrong while copying the file or upsmon has a bug or something I did not do.
Maybe mention I extracted the .gz in Windows then copied it to pfSense.

@NinthWave You probably had wrong file permissions. Be sure to match permissions as previous. Should look like this:

@dennypage Thanks. I have SB-5100 so I would like to deploy the files you provided to mitigate my issues.
Can you help me out and describe how to perform actual replacement? Appreciate your help. -

How to patch NUT until next package availabe, in order to avoid unexpected shutdownIn short:
- dowload those two archives on your PC or your pfSense directly (from SSH)
@dennypage said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):
For those of you that are on amd64 based systems (Intel or AMD), and are severely affected by the shutdown on calibration/self-test issue, attached are replacement versions of upsmon and usbhid-ups that you can use until the update is published.
Note that these files are for amd64 systems only. I do not have a build/test system for arm. Sorry!
- If download to PC, copy them to pfSense using |Diagnostics|Command Prompt|Upload file or WinSCP or else
- Extract the archives. You will have two files: "usbhid-ups" and "upsmon"
- Stop your NUT service from within pfSense GUI
- Move the files in appropriate directories and make sure to have appropriate file permission or CHMOD 755

@NinthWave Thank you for your assistance and help. Just did update and things started fine.
Will monitor. Hopefully we soon get official patch. -
@dennypage, I wonder why it's taking so long to update the official package when this case is so straightforward. I know you are not the one who can do it.

Hi guys,
I have a very similar issue, however, not during self tests or something like that, but during "normal" powerfailures too.
I get about the same error messages though, and I can confirm that the UPS is in good state, and the batteries are well too, I also tried with a different OS, with an older NUT Version, where the problem does not occur.
Think is, once power from the wall gets lost, I get the following messages, before the pfsense and all slaves immediately shut down +- 30 Seconds (with >2h of runtime left according to the UPS!)Jan 25 18:33:08 snmp-ups 53155 Requesting UPS [Eaton_5PX2200] to power off, as/if handled by its driver by default (may exit), due to socket protocol request

2024/01/25 18:32:52 Normal AC NOK

2024/01/25 18:32:53 ABM state Off
2024/01/25 18:32:53 Normal AC voltage out of toleranceI have replaced the two files mentioned in the above posts, however, I don't think that solved the issue, cause this is not during self test mode nor calibration mode, this is a quite normal condition.
In addition: I updated my pfsense box from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2 just one or two weeks ago, about 3 weeks before I had a poweroutage of about 2 hours, which was handled as usual, no unexpected shutdowns, everything ran through.
Now with that version, it takes under a minute and everything wents black.I ran upsc on a different machine, and it seems like during a power Outage, the Eaton 5PX Reports the Status "OFF".
ups.status: OB OFF OBAny ideas?

Jan 25 18:33:03 upsmon 89442 UPS Eaton_5PX2200 on batteryThis appears to be the failsafe when loosing connection to the UPS while on battery. This could either be a communication issue between the host and the UPS, or a bug in the snmp-ups driver.
I haven't seen the bug with the snmp-ups driver, but of course that doesn't mean it isn't there. There is a pending update to the NUT package. If you want to try an updated file in the interim, I've attached a newer snmp-ups to this post.
-
Thank's for the fast reply.
Replaced the new snmp-ups file, and restarted the service, however still the same issue.
I unplug the UPS for testing purposes, wait about 30-60 Seconds and the machine shuts down.
I was able to gather a screenshot from the status page:
This looks nearly the same as with a nut 2.8.0 Installation on a Bebian machine during a power loss situation, however, without the forced shutdown Flag.
(nut 2.8.0: ups.status: OB OFF OB)
I would say as this happens concurrently for 5 testruns now, I would rule out the communication loss theory, especially because everything else, including the Debian boxes stay alive - even if I let a longer time pass (as it should be).I don't know much about the underlyings of nut, however I'd say it's the OFF Flag coming from the UPS via SNMP in a power loss situation?
As the UPS doesn't report any error in it's webinterface, I would not see the UPS itself as the reason. -

You cannot put too much into the Debian boxes not noticing or caring. They may still be on NUT 2.7.4. NUT 2.8.0 and above are much more attentive and sensitive to some UPS notifications.
Only other thing I can think of is to explore the new OFFDURATION configuration option. This would go into the Additional configuration lines for upsmon.conf section.

I have been waiting for the "official" patch to be released, but am experiencing frequent shutdowns as a result of this issue, so I would like to update manually. But I am not at all versed in how to accomplish the 2 steps outlined above ("Move the files in appropriate directories and make sure to have appropriate file permission or CHMOD 755") (I have been able to download and extract the archives). Would it be possible for someone to provide the specific commands needed, and where exactly to enter them in pfSense, to accomplish these steps?
Thanks in advance!
