MAXAGE is no longer relevant when it comes to staleness of drivers. That
is, if you keep it at the default of 15 seconds. A long time ago, we would
wait for drivers to signal that they are still alive and drivers had to
call 'dstate_dataok()' to prevent these staleness warnings. This is no
longer the case (for many years already), now that the server actively
sollicits a response from the driver by sending it a 'PING' (to which
drivers should respond with 'PONG').

If the server is complaining about a stale driver, it is because the
driver has not replied to at least three attempts to 'PING' it. The most
likely cause is that the driver is waiting for a response from the UPS too
long in upsdrv_updateinfo(). During that time it will be unresponsive to
the server and hence the staleness warning.

Best regards, Arjen
