Not sure...how can I tell? I pulled the logs and the kernel log file shows this entry. Should I check another one of the logfiles?

Yes...I wondered the same but after the OS reinstall the UPS was still configured in the ReadyNas so what prevented the shutdown after the reinstall?

I will try the UPS directly connected to the Readynas...but using the NUT client built into ReadyNas (w Nut client on Synology) is how I had it(and what I meant by SNMP configuration)....is there an alternate way to do UPS--- USB ---> Synology --- SNMP ---> ReadyNAS path. ?
Appreciate the feedback. I will test UPS operation after I complete a full backup of the data on my ReadyNas.

Thats a clue that it was a graceful shutdown, and not a power cut.
dmesg.log and systemd-journal.log should tell you if it was not graceful (there would be a message along those lines at the next normal boot).

these files only have the most recent bootup after I did OS reinstall...no data from the previous night when the power went out or the morning before the OS reinstall.
