@kevindd992002 Did you have the HOSTSYNC setting in the upsmon.conf section?

Yes I did, for 120 seconds. That's what I thought at first but digging through the logs of pfsense, the power went out again at 8:15PM and came back at 10:39PM. And what I think happened is the upsmon.conf file was reverted to 0 bytes right after the Syno turned on when the power went back on at 6:15PM. So at 6:15PM, the Syno never was able to connect to the NUT master.

@kevindd992002 That's pretty strange (scary). Other than talking with Synology, the only thing I can think to suggest is to double check that your Synology can easily shut down in 120 seconds. Mine used to shutdown in under 60 seconds. I just retested (glad I did) and I'm seeing it now at 90 seconds. I don't know if the change is due to a newer DSM or because of changes I've made with Surveillance Station.

I thought of that and it was fine when there was a blackout like a few days ago before Oct 3. So it's got to be the upsmon.conf issue again.

Cool. Just checking.

Seems pretty clear that Synology has a bug in their nut configuration management.

Hello All,
The issue I am having may have been answered already but there are several posts here and I haven't been able to find my answer. Anyways....I have a Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD. It is plugged into my pfsense router; it is an old Dell R210 server running just pfsense. It appears I have everything set up correctly and pfsense is seeing my UPS. I also have my FreeNAS set up as a slave and it can see the UPS through the pfsense box. When I cut the power to test the shutdown process, FreeNAS shuts down after 60 seconds; which is how I have it setup. FreeNAS is working how I want it to. The issue I am having is my pfsense box IS NOT shutting down. When I tested it, the UPS completely ran out of battery and pfsense never initiated the shutdown sequence. I tried using the commands suggested on here in the ups.conf but they don't do anything. I attached some screenshots. of my pfsense UPS settings.

@tensi0n519 You have the UPS configured to ignore the low battery signal, and to not initiate a shutdown until the ups is under 5% or 60 seconds of runtime. Note that the 5% and 60 second values are determined by polling (every 30 seconds) rather than by signal from the UPS. This ends up being a very narrow margin for conducting a shutdown.

NUT provides no native way to initiate shutdown within X seconds of going on battery. You can initiate shutdown based on a low battery signal from the UPS (default), or values such as % or runtime calculated from the UPS status.

Things to do:

Remove ignorelb from configuration. ignorelb is used to work around UPSs that send an immediate low battery signal as soon as the UPS goes on battery. The Tripp Lite does not do this.
Either remove the % or increase it to a minimum of 15-20%. If it were me, I would simply delete this parameter.
Either remove the runtime or increase it to a minimum of 120. If it were me, I would use a value of 300.

The higher the values for % and runtime, the easier it is on the battery. And the safer it is for shutdown.

@dennypage , how do you totally delete the %? Can you put a blank value in the charge.low parameter in the extra arguments for the driver field?

Delete the line that says "override.battery.charge.low = 5" from the Additional configuration lines for ups.conf text input box. Be sure to delete the "ignorelb" line as well.

When you are done, the Additional configuration lines for ups.conf section should either be completely empty, or have a single line that says "override.battery.runtime.low = 300"

Greetings everyone!
Sorry for the noob question, but I tried to find an answer in the past days with no luck!
I just got an APC ups with network card, I installed NUT package, I can read my ups data via pfsense but I couldn't find a way to manually configure the package so (for example) I can setup when to shutdown pfsense with respect to the remaining ups battery, I noticed a few old guides which inapplicable to the current NUT package release.
Thanks for your kind time

@huuur This is discussed several times earlier in this thread. The previous 4 posts were specifically about this topic.

If you leave NUT alone (default configuration), it will perform a shutdown on the local system when the UPS signals a low better situation. In 90% of the cases, this is the desired behavior. If you have a USB based UPS and are only supporting pfSense with it, I would recommend staying with the default configuration.

If you have a more complicated configuration, such as multi-system, an exotic UPS, etc., and need to change the way NUT behaves, the best way to start is with the NUT User Manual located here. It's important to understand the trade-offs when making changes to the NUT configuration. You can easily create configurations in which NUT will not successfully shut down the system(s) when mains fail, or will not recover them after mains return.

I recently migrated my pfsense to some different hardware. I made a backup of all pfsense settings, installed pfsense on the new machine, then restored all pfsense settings.
Now I am seeing issues with my ups which I also moved over from the old machine to the new one. Once in a while I get an email saying it is disconnected but the logs are showing more issues.

@DurUser I would recommend the following:

Delete the NUT package
Re-Install the NUT package
Go to Services / UPS / UPS Settings and press Save
Reboot the system

When the UPS is on-battery I get notifications that it is on battery from both pfsense and my Synology NAS (upsmon.conf issue was fixed by Synology already), so all good. But when the either charge.low (50) or runtime.low (300) is reached, I'm not seeing the pfsense box and Synology shutdown gracefully.

Why am I getting these logs?

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?

@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.

@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?

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