Gertjan, Are you using link aggregation on pfSense or bonding on the Synology?
Something is interfering with TCP connections between your pfSense instance and the Synology on the LAN.

Although you asked Gertjan this question, it triggered me, and yes, I had bonding on the Synology. I deleted the bond, and I think the problem is gone. I am looking, but sofar no more emails about connection lost and established.
I'll report back tomorrow, thank you :-*
I was hoping this would also fix another problem I have with shared folder sync over VPN, but unfortunately not. I'll post a new thread for that (edit: it is here, in case you have a spare minute left and would be curious ;D https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=132628.0).

Yep, I addressed the wrong person. Sorry about that.
Anyway, it makes sense. You have a disagreement between the link aggregation group configuration on the Synology and the switch.

The benefit of understanding networking. Thank you for your message :-*

Suggest that you disable all lag/bonding for both pfSense and the Synology (don't forget to disable lag/lacp on the switch ports) and disconnect all but one cable to each system. Then check ping in both directions and confirm that there is no loss.

Hey f34rinc , seems like you've done some homework. Thanks!
Going forward, the first thing I would recommend for testing is to get rid of everything in the advanced section, and ensure that you have rebooted before continuing diagnosis.
Do you have confidence in the USB chipset on the mother board? Is it a recent MB? It appears that the UPS is on the other side of a bridge chip (expected), but I don't see it's identification in the usb dump. It's not an external hub is it?
Also, how old is the UPS? If it's not recent, have you tried the tripplite driver?

Hi, I'm running a Cyberpower UPS, and getting random email notifications saying LOWBATT, I have NUT running as the master on my pfsense box, with the UPS connected directly via USB. I'm sitting at 100% battery charged and UPS load around 65%. I verified this is reported from the actual LCD screen on the UPS, and uspsc command. Why is NUT thinking the BATT is low, when its not even on BATT, and its reporting 100% charged?

If it's not recent, have you tried the tripplite driver?I do not have confidence in the USB chipset the box is a Leonovo M90 3246-A2U from 2010 and I was able to find it uses Platform Controller Hub (PCH) for PCI, ethernet and USB. I've also switched between the USB 2 and USB 3 ports, different cables. I can only get usbconfig to show TRIPP LITE UPS Tripp Lite.
No external USB hub (eww)
I just purchased the UPS July 2017
I do plan to get new hardware in the next year or possibly sooner, I dont know if it would be worth it to try and get a PCI\PCIe usb card with a better chipset.

I've had a couple of Cyberpowers. I found them to be a bit flakey, particularly when the battery needs replacing. It could be happening when the unit does its short self test. I would perform a self test, followed by a runtime calibration to check the battery.

Normally I would recommend against an external hub, but in this case it's worth a try to test with an external (powered) hub because it will be a different bridge chip.

Thanks, is there a certain bridge chip manufacture I should try or avoid ?

I'm trying to figure out how to do this? Its connected directly to pfSense with just NUT. Is there a upsc command to imitate a selftest? The units not even a year old =(
-
You use "upscmd" to do self tests and the like. A list of the potential commands is available here.
This command
upscmd -l <upsname>will provide a list of available commands for the specific UPS.</upsname>

So i ran a deep battery test, and it passes every time. Is there anything diagnostic wise i could do to see what's going on at the time it reports LOWBATT, because as far as i can tell its never low. This just started happening after I upgraded pfSense to the latest version 2.4.4, If i remember, i was on 2.3.2. Something has changed in the way pfsense is handling this across these versions.
-
This just started happening after I upgraded pfSense to the latest version 2.4.4, If i remember, i was on 2.3.2. Something has changed in the way pfsense is handling this across these versions.
Can you clarify the version information please? The latest version of pfSense is 2.3.4. Version 2.4 of pfSense is still in development (beta). The latest version of the nut package is 2.7.4_4, which uses underlying nut version 2.7.4_1. Thanks.
Btw, unless you were previously running pfSense 2.2.X or below, I'm guessing that the "something changed with nut" may be coincidental. This stuff hasn't changed much in the last year. The underlying release of nut for pfSense, version 2.7.4, was introduced in pfSense 2.3.0. The current generation of the nut package, version 2.7.4, was introduced shortly thereafter. Note that the prior generation nut package, 2.3.X, didn't have the ability to send email notifications so you would have only noticed LOWBATT messages if you scanned the system log.

Ok sorry, let me clear that up, I'm on the latest version now of 2.3.4. Previously on 2.3.2, never had a single LOWBATT alert. Back checked email, July 9th I upgrade to 2.3.4, alerts start rolling in since, randomly. Is something polling differently now?

The only scenario I can think of would be having an earlier version of pfSense and the nut package installed, then installing 2.3.2 and not reinstalling the packages until the upgrade to 2.3.4.
If this was the case, there would have been two changes. First would have been the underlying nut version going from 2.7.3 to 2.7.4. Second would have been the nut package going from 2.3.X to 2.7.4. If this happened, it should have been pretty obvious because the nut package would have put up a banner about settings migration and forced the migrated settings to be explicitly saved before it would start. Nut email notifications are also off by default, so at some point they had to be explicitly enabled as well.
For nut, the release notes are here. Nothing in particular jumps out at me, but I'm not a nut developer. For the nut package, there hasn't been much since the introduction of 2.7.4, which is when the ability to configure email was introduced. Overall, my best guess is that the LOWBATT thing has been happening all along and it wasn't noticed in the system logs until email notifications were enabled because it didn't impair operation.
So I guess the key questions to think about are: Was there a nut configuration migration performed? If so, when? And when were email notifications enabled?
