NUT snmp-ups failed to start

gslongo

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to configure NUT on the latest pfsense version with a SNMP UPS (APC SRT 8000)

The service refuses to start :

[2.3-RELEASE][root@pfSense-vdmz1.fft]/usr/local/pkg: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start
starting snmp-ups
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.3
Error: no UPS definitions found in ups.conf
snmp-ups failed to start

However the config seems to be generated :

[2.3-RELEASE][root@pfSense-vdmz1.fft]/usr/local/pkg: cat /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf
user=root
[APC SRT 8000]
driver=snmp-ups
port=192.168.0.190
mibs=ietf
snmp_version=v1
community=public
pollfreq=30

Someone has any idea ?

Thank you for advance,

elemay

Hi,

same behaviour here… :-\

Monitoring a local USB attached ups is working fine.

as you see same error messages:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start:

starting snmp-ups
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Error: no UPS definitions found in ups.conf
snmp-ups failed to start

cat /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf:

user=root
[SNMP-UPS]
driver=snmp-ups
port=192.168.0.43
mibs=ietf
snmp_version=v2c

The first one is easy: the ups name cannot have spaces in it, so "APC SRT 8000" is an invalid ups name and will be ignored.

The second one not so much. "SNMP-UPS" is a valid ups name. I tested the ups.conf posted against NUT 2.7.4 and do not receive the "no UPS definitions found in ups.conf" error.
