Daily (almost) UPS Communication error

I see a periodic (almost every day) UPS Communication Error at 1900h.  This is too regular to not be a software error.  I am running 6.6.1.  This is nothing else in the logs at this time.  I believe this started with 6.6 but not 100% sure on that.

    Hi SLK-Purdue,

     

    Not sure if this is related to the AV issue that is being investigated. Can you try to disable your Anti-Virus and see if it will make any difference.

     

     

    Regards,

      No Joy!!  I disabled AV and got the same error at the same time later that day.

        Maybe PM skywalker and ask him if he'd like the logs.

         

        There are some ongoing issues with UPS monitoring in 6.6.1 that some people are running into.  One of my cyberpowers hasn't been playing nicely with my RN526 (though another cyberpower is working just fine).

      Problem continues with AV disabled.

       

      New data - this is clearly clock based.  When I adjust the time, the problem moves accordingly.  I have confirm I can see nothing in the cron logs.  Any clues?
