UPS Weirdness
So, this morning I received a "UPS disconnected" notice, when nobody was awake in the house to disconnect it. There was no corresponding "UPS connected" notice to correspond to it, so I can't determine if it's a transient failure or not.
Any thoughts, ReadyNAS gurus? This seems odd to me.. if you have disconnect notices, there really should be a symmetrical event.

- You can easily check to see if the UPS is connected by opening RAIDar and checking the icon - it should be green.
- I received a "UPS has been disconnected" notice today when I plugged a flash drive into the front USB port. The UPS and a printer are plugged into the back USB ports. The status lights in RAIDar and FrontView Health are all green. When I unplug the flash drive, I don't receive a notice that the UPS has been (re)connected.
I wonder if JustBill had a USB drive plugged in that started a backup at the same time of his UPS disconnection notice? yeah, shouldn't be related...
as JustBill said, any thoughts? - tilliejacques:
Good thought, but aside from the USB UPS, I haven't connected anything to the USB ports, and the "UPS disconnected" messages happen when no one is home.
Curioser and curioser. Thanks, too, PapaBear, for your thought, but what I'm after is notifications that match up with one another. If I'm away from the unit and depending on email alerts from the system to let me know if something bad (or good) is going on, I sort of kind of need to know, if the UPS is disconnected, when it reconnects.
Any additional thoughts? Anything I can script, looking in logs, or somewhere with nut?
--B - Most likely the connection isn't secure or the cable is bad, or your UPS is flaky--I'd try another cable.
What is the make & model of your UPS.
