Hey there,
I'm trying to configure a SNMP UPS in FreeNAS using the UPS-Service. To be honest, I'm failing miserably at it.
These are the SNMP cards that I'm using: PowerWalker SNMP Manager.
In pfSense I've already got it running pretty easily, it's using the snmp-ups driver which was detected automatically. I only had to configure the Type (remote snmp), name and IP.
However, on FreeNAS, I'm really struggling. There are so many fields that are mandatory, for example monitor user, password etc. which aren't applicable to snmp.
What's the right way to configure snmp ups systems in FreeNAS?

If you have your pfsense box set up with the ups, then I suggest you try slaving FreeNAS from the pfsense "master" (assuming that the pfsense box and FreeNAS are on the same UPS). Use the same device from the NUT table that pfsense picked up (the same driver).
I have my two FreeNAS boxes slaved to my pfsense box in this manner.
