@kevindd992002 First thing to do for diagnosis is to simplify.

Disable NUT on the Synology for now.
Remove anything and everything you have in the advanced section of the NUT configuration on pfSense.
Do a clean startup with mains power and battery at 100%.
Look at the "UPS Detail" section in Services -> UPS. What does it say the runtime is?

When you post logs, you need to include any USB messages as well so that any USB connectivity issues can be seen in addition to NUT messages.

Let's remove the NAS from the equation for now. I may know what caused it not to shutdown. I recently introduced an extension box to the main Synology NAS and when I timed the whole shutdown process, it took around 3 minutes for it to completely shutdown. So I changed the charge.low to 60, runtime.low to 480, and HOSTSYNC to 300 for now. That should do it. If the NAS shuts down before the 300 seconds are up though, will NUT wait for the whole 300 seconds to end before it shuts down itself?

When the batt is at 100%, runtime is 660 (11 minutes).

Here are the last 1000 "ups" logs:

Also, in case you've missed my other questions above:

In the past, you mentioned that the override.battery.charge.low and override.battery.runtime.low parameters are added in the Extra Arguments to driver section and that's what I've been doing since the very start. But in the NUT documentation, it says there to put it in the Additional configuration for ups.conf section. So which is which and what is the difference?

From the ups.conf man page: “The file begins with global directives, and then each UPS has a section which contains a number of directives that set parameters for that UPS.”

The battery variable overrides are not global directives. They are fields in a ups definition.

Right. But then those fields in a ups definition are still located in the ups.conf file, right? I'm still confused. In the ups.conf file, the override variable is listed under UPS fields which are under ups.conf.

dennypage

@kevindd992002 Yes, they are in the same file. ups.conf looks like this:

Global directive 1
Global directive 2
[ups1]
Field 1 = X
Field 2 = X
[ups2]
Field 1 = X
Field 2 = X

kevindd992002

@dennypage said in NUT package:

@kevindd992002 Yes, they are in the same file. ups.conf looks like this:

Global directive 1
Global directive 2
[ups1]
Field 1 = X
Field 2 = X
[ups2]
Field 1 = X
Field 2 = X

Ok, so if I understand this correctly:

Anytime you add something in the "Extra arguments" section in the pfsense NUT GUI, you effectively add those under the ups definition fields in ups.conf file.
Anytime you add asomething in the "ups.conf" section in the pfsense NUT GUI, you effectively add those as Global directives under the same ups.conf file.

Do those sound about right?

dennypage

@kevindd992002

Yes. Isn't this clear from the help text for both sections?

kevindd992002

@dennypage said in NUT package:

@kevindd992002

Yes. Isn't this clear from the help text for both sections?

I read the help text for the ups.conf field and it is clear now to me. But for the Extra arguments to the NUT driver, it doesn't say that those will go to the ups.conf file too, so I got confused.

kevindd992002

@dennypage , do you have any comments regarding my USB issues?

dennypage

@kevindd992002 You didn’t post usb entries from the system log. You need both the UPS and USB entries from the system log for the times in question.

What I’m expecting to see in there is that the USB connection is lost which is what triggers NUT’s loss of connection. This would indicate that the issue isn’t associated with NUT at all. See earlier in this thread for several discussions of USB driver issues.

Sorry, I had a typo in my previous post above. Those were the last 1000 "usb" logs (not ups logs) in the system log. I just filtered the system logs by message="ups". Did you want something else?

dennypage

@kevindd992002 What I was looking for, it was all logs containing "usb" or "ups". For instance the logs above contain only items matching "usb" which means things like "upsmon" will not be present.

However in looking at the ups logs immediately above, I don't actually see any disconnects. Did I misunderstand what your problem is? I tried going back through your posts in the thread, but they go back over a year so I may be confused as to what is current.

Can you restate what your current problem is please? Thanks.

@kevindd992002 What I was looking for, it was all logs containing "usb" or "ups". For instance the logs above contain only items matching "usb" which means things like "upsmon" will not be present.

However in looking at the ups logs immediately above, I don't actually see any disconnects. Did I misunderstand what your problem is? I tried going back through your posts in the thread, but they go back over a year so I may be confused as to what is current.

Can you restate what your current problem is please? Thanks.

The current problem are the USB disconnects in these posts:

https://forum.netgate.com/post/876424 -> these logs are filtered by message="ups", so upsmon logs are there
https://forum.netgate.com/post/876681 -> these logs are filtered by message="usb"

I'm seeing these logs:

upsmon parent process died
Communications with UPS ups lost
Can't connect to UPS [ups] (usbhid-ups-ups): No such file or directory
Can't connect to UPS [ups] (usbhid-ups-ups): Connection refused

@kevindd992002 Are these happening at start up? Or are they happening sporadically?

@dennypage These happen intermittently. As an example, here are the ups and usb logs for today when there was no power interruption of any kind:

@dennypage

I tested my new UPS again and had these results:

If you check under UPS details, my battery.charge.low is set to 60% and battery.runtime.low is set to 396s. I unplugged the UPS from the wall outlet to recreate a blackout and I was expecting NUT to issue an FSD when either charge.low or runtime.low is reached, whichever comes first. But if you check the UPS Status, the actual charge is at 47% already and the runtime at 300s, yet I'm not still seeing it sending an FSD to the slaves.

The FSD was sent until the UPS' built-in "low battery" meter is reached and my Synology was notified to shutdown. Why is this?

Can't give you much guidance without the corresponding system logs. USB bus disconnects, WAN link changes, DHCP events, etc. can all cause a restart of NUT. You need to look at the entire system state of the system at the time of the event.

@kevindd992002 Did you have ignorelb set?

kevindd992002

@dennypage no I didn't. Is it required so that the overrides will work? I thought otherwise.

Would you want a copy of all system logs at that time frame? I'm not sure what to check specifically because I have two pfsense boxes with roughly the same settings but I only encounter it with one box that has the APC SUA750.
