Actually just today I had a PR https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2678 to replace those numeric codes in messages with slightly more meaningful text.
There is indeed little immediate practical impact (as in, nothing gets broken), but rather a moderate strategic one: * if you run NUT in a systemd distro (eventually maybe SMF or other such frameworks), where notifications are possible and useful to e.g. report that a driver's service has started only after it completes the first data walk of a device, these messages help you see you are missing out on that (either NUT built without support for the framework, or running not under its wing - intentionally during testing or not). In your case this goal was reached - detected that the package was not built sufficiently feature-full :) * if you run NUT in a distro without such framework, or do not plan to use one for whatever reasons even if available, your init-script (or even systemd unit) may be missing out on `export NUT_QUIET_INIT_UPSNOTIFY=true` to hush those messages. More details in https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1590, https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/1777 and https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2136 Jim On Sat, Nov 16, 2024 at 12:30 AM Orion Poplawski via Nut-upsuser < [email protected]> wrote: > On 11/15/24 15:57, Orion Poplawski wrote: > > This is on EL9 with 2.8.2: > > > > nut-monitor[150988]: upsnotify: failed to notify about state 2: no > > notification tech defined, will not spam more about it > > > > I have no idea what this really means.
