Is this a bug, or...?

[Z300M]

I have found instances where FreeNAS spits out so many error messages (e.g., most recently, UPS "data stale") that it is no longer possible to control the machine via the GUI: the flood of messages "clogs up" the system? It is therefore impossible to issue a reboot or shutdown command either -- not even from the IPMI remote console: the machine simply does not respond.

Is it supposed to work this way, or is this something that can be fixed?

Which model of UPS?

GeekSquad GS-1285U (rebranded CyberPower, I think).

@Z300M
I had same issue with another brand of UPS, but solved it by simply changing USB ports!
fyi the model of UPS is listed in my sig...

There is an open ticket for another cyberpower model which seems related: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/4647.
