There's currently no ideal way to do this within the constraints of the plugin system. You can remove and re-install the plugin to clean up older files, or remove them (*.txz) manually. The plugin will re-download any files it needs, in case you accidentally purged any still needed ones.

I updated the plugin to include latest NUT 2.8.4 and also fix the footer issue in the recent OS beta version. I'm aware of the other minor UI issues, these will require a larger overhaul, which I'm not sure how I'll navigate yet. This'll be a continuous effort and targeted towards future OS stable branch releases with the plugin otherwise functional.

Thanks, I'm aware of the issue and an update is in the works, which will also include NUT 2.8.4 (which was released today). In general all my plugins target the stable branch OS versions, so things can break when using any such beta branch OS versions.

You have to go into TTM Settings and enable it.

The linked image doesn't load; please do a new topic that has: A descriptive, respectful topic title. A working image of the error message. A detailed, respectful message of your problem. As your current topic has neither of these, I'm locking it.

In Unraid's NUT Settings, please first stop NUT, then set these settings (beware DRIVER debug level, NOT Monitor) as shown below: Then start NUT and wait for a bit for the OL/OB flicker to occur, after which you can download the logfile and post it here. It is important to download the log file (clicking the download icon) and not copy it out of the log viewer (clicking the book icon), as the log viewer truncates any parts that are exceeding 200 lines (which a lot of debug lines will probably exceed). You can afterwards revert the above changed settings back to their original states/defaults. 😉

Welcome! 😀

Well you've got a niche setup, that calls for a niche solution. ;-)

Did you try if "Auto Config" detects the UPS?

The parser does not care about whitespace between words. If you like to indent things with tabs or spaces, feel free to do it.

This is a known firmware issue with that series, please check out this pinned post for a solution: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/60217-plugin-nut-v2-network-ups-tools/page/70/#comment-1494093 As for the debug package, it should open a download (see if your browser does not block it), but may take a while (~30 secs max) at that.

Thankfully the safeguards caught this. What would have happened though if the source code were in the user's name also (xml and plg)? Is there another layer of safeguards in place that would prevent rogue re-listing of someone else's plugins, if the rogue repo is alphabetically higher and indexed before the actual repo (as in this case)? I'm thinking if the definition and source code are under the same username, as they should be, they probably would not trip this particular safeguard, but would such rogue re-listed plugins still be caught as new and previously unseen plugins? Thanks for the diligence and transparency, glad to see such things are taken care of! 🤗

Yes, that's correct, the charts receive the information straight from the backend and the calculation is done in the frontend for visuals.

At the moment the charts can only monitor variables that are actually reported by the UPS, not those calculated inside the GUI. I guess many people use external charting solutions (Grafana, ...) with NUT, where you can do such more complex manipulations. It may well be possible in the future at some point, but I can't provide a time-frame on that just yet, sorry.

You can use the overrides to define custom variables you want to monitor, any existing numeric variables should be possible:

This is mostly an improvement idea, but I figured I'd throw it out there and I'm not sure if it's not already implemented like this. I think it wasn't, the last time I added a plugin, though. With new plugins requiring manual approval for a while now, I think it'd be fair to list them at the beginning of "Recently Added" when they actually get approved and are visible within CA, rather than when they were first discovered by CA. With the manual approval progress, a new plugin essentially has almost no chance to be at the top of "Recently Added" or even visible on the CA front page at all, with the amount of not manually approved new Docker containers, between the time it was first discovered and when it's actually approved and listed in CA. This would help increase new plugin visibility, keep things equally fair and reduce pressure on the CA moderators as well, I hope. 😆

MirrorShuttle Keep your organization, ditch the ransomware. This plugin provides a GUI to the MirrorShuttle command-line program. MirrorShuttle helps to achieve a very specific security and anti-ransomware oriented workflow for your media server. The idea is to have most of your precious files in user shares that are not publicly writeable, while new content arrives elsewhere. The tool helps mirror the folder structure of these read-only shares into your incoming area, so you can organise files within that mirror structure. MirrorShuttle then moves new content from that structure, to the pre-planned locations in the read-only shares, without opening these shares to writes. This lets you access your precious media from untrusted clients (Windows), without having to constantly worry about everything going up in flames. The workflow is primarily oriented at locations that are not frequently changing, and where content is usually only ever added, this chart visualises that: Please remember this is a support thread and not a discussion base on if this specific, disciplined workflow makes sense to you. I have been using this exact workflow on my servers for years, previously using a bunch of unreliable scripts, but with great success.

Please post in the specific support topic of the Docker container you're using (from CA).

Please post the NUT Debug Package from the NUT Settings page.

Yes, the "UPS Settings" uses the program apcupsd and NUT uses the software suite NUT: https://networkupstools.org/

I still don't see how privacy laws would apply here when the data cannot realistically be linked back to a person. A USB stick is not a person. Everyone likes to play data privacy warrior, but it's not as simple as you make it out to be. Nobody is forcing you to use the plugin, it's as simple as clicking a button to remove it. Not every data collection needs consent, I'm no expert on the topic either but I feel you're just being overly alarmist about this now.

Sorry but that's just ridiculous, you may not agree with his collection of information, but there's no realistic scenario in which he could reverse-engineer a one-way cryptographic hash of a meaningless GUID back to that meaningless GUID and then tie that to your person all without having access to LT's own database. Even by strictest EU standards this would 100% be dismissed by anyone somewhat competent with these regulations, and conforms with what many companies and software developers already do without even offering the comfort of opt-out or being transparent about it.

I don't see the larger issue, as far as I can tell it was clearly offered in the GUI to disable metrics collection and nothing of any value whatsoever was being transmitted here. So I'm not sure how transmitting a hash of a hash and some application versions is a breach of trust for some here. If you look at https://docs.unraid.net/connect/privacy/ then Unraid itself also records minimal information that aids development, which should be a good thing for everyone. Ultimately, plugins are free pieces of software, that nobody is forcing you to use, in fact most commercial applications collect far more information and are almost always opt-out (if at all). I can only speak for myself, but I'd rather use a well maintained FOSS plugin that uses metrics to channel development in the right directions, than one where the maintainer one day just up and pulls the repos, leaving users and systems stranded due to whatever circumstances. I'm always in for getting out the pitchforks, where necessary, but I don't really see the ill intentions or trust being breached here. 🤨

I for one really like the new layout and colours, good job! 🙂
