Im getting the below when trying to start my ups server. Its a slave for an unraid machine running nut as master, there is another unraid box as slave that is working without issue

Thanks for the comprehensive response.
Regret that I’m a Core guy and cannot help on this Scale issue - hopefully someone with appropriate Scale knowledge will be able to chip in.
FWIW, I had a NUT server running on a Raspberry Pi with the TrueNAS and other Pi’s acting as slaves. It worked out so not-well when we had a power outage that I made the TrueNAS the NUT server.
For whatever reason, this NUT stuff is far more finicky than it should be. I never could get the Pi’s to speak properly to the TrueNAS NUT server and I’ve simply given up on achieving a proper shutdown for them due to power failures.
Just to reply here, I was able to get this working for a networked APC UPS. Unfortunately there is no way in the GUI to validate that its connecting properly, but running the command manually and getting an output is supposed to be a success.
I run my main NUT server on an unraid box, and was able to confirm that this machines IP address shows up on the unraid box as a connected client, so it is working as expected.
A newer version of the netdata plugin is coming at some point which should have updated UPS support to help with this.
