[Nut-upsuser] [EXTERNAL] SNMP shutdown timing out

Wed Apr 29 23:28:18 BST 2020

Is NUT using the same SNMP v3 user as your SNMP Set or a different one?

If it is a different one (e.g. an SNMP v1 or v2c string) does that user / community string have read/write access?

tcpdump to listen for packets across UDP 161 is one way to check what is actually being sent.

Thank you,

David Zomaya

I'm in the process of trying to get NUT to manage an APC SmartUPS.

I can use snmpset to halt the UPS.
  snmpset -v 3 -a MD5 -A NutScan at Password43LongerWord -l authPriv -u nut -x DES -X NutScan at Password43LongerWord apcups SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.318.1.1.1.6.1.1.0 i 2

(Passwords are temporary, I don't care if they leak.)

I am aware of the note in the MIB that states "Setting this variable to turnUpsOffToConserveBattery(2) causes a UPS on battery to be put into 'sleep' mode.  The UPS will turn back on when utility power is restored.  Attempting to turn off a UPS that is not on battery will result in a badValue error." so tests are being done with the UPS on battery.

However, when I try to tell it to shut down the UPS it fails with a timeout.

This *might* be related to the question I asked yesterday about nut-scanner but given the difference in error reported (nut-scanner was complaining about auth) I don't think so.

I'm using nut packages from EPEL 8 for all of this.

I've set SELinux to permissive (even tried 'disabled') and it doesn't appear to be blocking anything.

Anyone have any suggestions for what I can try next?
