General Discussion / nut service not starting

« on: July 28, 2018, 06:03:48 pm »

hello all,

I am a newbie with OPNsense and trying to connect my UPS to my router
OPNsense version is 18.1.13
UPS is APC back-UPS ES 700G

I installed os-nut plugin (v1.0) and connected my UPS to the router
kernel logs show UPS device is correctly detected:

Code: [Select]

ugen0.2: <APC Back-UPS ES 700G FW871.O2 .I USB FWO2> at usbus0

in web UI configuration, I enable NUT service with:
in general settings:
  enable NUT : ON
  service mode : standalone
  name : UPSName
in UPS type/USBHID-driver
  enable : ON
  extra arguments : port=auto

I apply configuration and try to leave NUT configuration page ... it takes long time (50 seconds, sometimes less)

next, going back to NUT configuration page : NUT is disabled ... configuration was not applied

from command line, I can see :
files in /usr/local/etc/nut are not modified

and running processes:

Code: [Select]

# ps aux | grep ups

after rebooting router, I still have same behavior

installing/reinstalling os-nut plugin changes nothing


am I missing some thing in my setup ?

is there somebody to help ?


regards,

Denis
