[Nut-upsuser] warnung: base variable (battery.runtime.low) is immutable

[Kevin D]

Hi,

I am using the NUT Software 2.7.4 (Ubuntu Repository) on Ubuntu 18.04.

Configuring a UPS with the snmp-ups driver and overriding the 
battery.runtime.low variable leads to following warnung/error:
Sep 23 11:10:08 hostname snmp-ups[27115]: dstate_setflags: base variable 
(battery.runtime.low) is immutable

Default for battery.runtime.low is 180 seconds. My idea is to increase 
the value to 420 seconds.

Although I get the warnung/error, in the output of upsc the variable is 
set to the desired value:
# upsc USV at hostname
battery.charge: 100.00
battery.current: 0.00
battery.runtime: 18120.00
battery.runtime.low: 420
[...]

My question is, which value is used now to determine the LB-State. The 
default value or the value in upsc?
Is it even possible to use the override.* value with the snmp-ups driver?

the ups.conf:
[UPS]
     driver = snmp-ups
     mibs = ietf
     port = x.x.x.x
     community = public
     snmp_version = v1
     pollfreq = 30
     desc = "USV"
     ignorelb
     override.battery.runtime.low = 420

# upsdrvctl -DDDD start USV

If you're not a NUT core developer, chances are that you're told to 
enable debugging
to see why a driver isn't working for you. We're sorry for the 
confusion, but this is
the 'upsdrvctl' wrapper, not the driver you're interested in.

Below you'll find one or more lines starting with 'exec:' followed by an 
absolute
path to the driver binary and some command line option. This is what the 
driver
starts and you need to copy and paste that line and append the debug 
flags to that
line (less the 'exec:' prefix).
