I would like nut to become more loquacious, and to log a much more complete
report of its activity. At present nut reports that its components have
started operation but does not automatically log their activity when UPS's
switch between OB and OL. I believe that this under-reporting of important
facts is too minimalist - it would be better for system administrators and for
the nut support team if a much more complete report were available of all OB/OL
activity by each component.
I've noticed that NUT doesn't notice short power outages or glitches like
previous setups (APC Smart-UPS+Apcupsd) I've had. I do miss that. I thought NUT
supported UPS notifications/interrupts so that it can know of power events that
happen in-between the regular poll interval. But I don't how much the lack of
reporting is due to NUT or the Eaton UPS's I am using now.
The default setting in upsmon.conf for ONLINE/ONBATT is SYSLOG+WALL.
If those events aren't being logged, we would need to trace further upstream
and see if the driver is generating the events.
Kris: I don't know the various debug levels off the top of my head, but if you
want to manually start the driver with a few -D flags and log the resulting
output, we can see whether or not your UPS is sending the notifications the way
that the driver is expecting them.
Since August, Apcupsd+SU700NET has logged 20 "Power failures". These
were all what I would call glitches. Actual power failures here are
rare. During the same period, NUT 2.6.5+Eaton 5PX has logged nothing.
It's on the same circuit as the SU700NET.
The 5PX is plugged into a cut-off switch so I can easily test it, so I
know upsmon's logging is working, if I give it a few seconds to notice.
I can flip the switch fast and the UPS responds (beeps, relays
clicking), but nothing from upsmon.
I've been meaning to do the full debugging bit, including the
SU700NET+NUT to see if it behaves differently. I'll upgrade NUT and get
that testing done.
Thanks
