cat ups.conf
# Network UPS Tools: example ups.conf
#
# --- SECURITY NOTE ---
#
# If you use snmp-ups and set a community string in here, you
# will have to secure this file to keep other users from obtaining
# that string. It needs to be readable by upsdrvctl and any drivers,
# and by upsd.
#
# ---
#
# This is where you configure all the UPSes that this system will be
# monitoring directly. These are usually attached to serial ports, but
# USB devices and SNMP devices are also supported.
#
# This file is used by upsdrvctl to start and stop your driver(s), and
# is also used by upsd to determine which drivers to monitor. The
# drivers themselves also read this file for configuration directives.
#
# The general form is:
#
# [upsname]
# driver = <drivername>
# port = <portname>
# < any other directives here >
#
# The section header ([upsname]) can be just about anything as long as
# it is a single word inside brackets. upsd uses this to uniquely
# identify a UPS on this system.
#
# If you have a UPS called snoopy, your section header would be "[snoopy]".
# On a system called "doghouse", the line in your upsmon.conf to monitor
# it would look something like this:
#
# MONITOR snoopy@doghouse 1 upsmonuser mypassword master
#
# It might look like this if monitoring in slave mode:
#
# MONITOR snoopy@doghouse 1 upsmonuser mypassword slave
#
# Configuration directives
# ------------------------
#
# These directives are common to all drivers that support ups.conf:
#
# driver: REQUIRED. Specify the program to run to talk to this UPS.
# apcsmart, bestups, and sec are some examples.
#
# port: REQUIRED. The serial port where your UPS is connected.
# /dev/ttyS0 is usually the first port on Linux boxes, for example.
#
# sdorder: optional. When you have multiple UPSes on your system, you
# usually need to turn them off in a certain order. upsdrvctl
# shuts down all the 0s, then the 1s, 2s, and so on. To exclude
# a UPS from the shutdown sequence, set this to -1.
#
# The default value for this parameter is 0.
#
# nolock: optional, and not recommended for use in this file.
#
# If you put nolock in here, the driver will not lock the
# serial port every time it starts. This may allow other
# processes to seize the port if you start more than one by
# mistake.
#
# This is only intended to be used on systems where locking
# absolutely must be disabled for the software to work.
#
# maxstartdelay: optional. This can be set as a global variable
# above your first UPS definition and it can also be
# set in a UPS section. This value controls how long
# upsdrvctl will wait for the driver to finish starting.
# This keeps your system from getting stuck due to a
# broken driver or UPS.
#
# The default is 45 seconds.
#
# synchronous: optional. The driver work by default in asynchronous
# mode (i.e *synchronous=no*). This means that all data
# are pushed by the driver on the communication socket to
# upsd (Unix socket on Unix, Named pipe on Windows) without
# waiting for these data to be actually consumed. With
# some HW, such as ePDUs, that can produce a lot of data,
# asynchronous mode may cause some congestion, resulting in
# the socket to be full, and the driver to appear as not
# connected. By enabling the 'synchronous' flag
# (value = 'yes'), the driver will wait for data to be
# consumed by upsd, prior to publishing more. This can be
# enabled either globally or per driver.
#
# The default is 'no' (i.e. asynchronous mode) for backward
# compatibility of the driver behavior.
#
# Anything else is passed through to the hardware-specific part of
# the driver.
#
# Examples
# --------
#
# A simple example for a UPS called "powerpal" that uses the blazer_ser
# driver on /dev/ttyS0 is:
#
# [powerpal]
# driver = blazer_ser
# port = /dev/ttyS0
# desc = "Web server"
#
# If your UPS driver requires additional settings, you can specify them
# here. For example, if it supports a setting of "1234" for the
# variable "cable", it would look like this:
#
# [myups]
# driver = mydriver
# port = /dev/ttyS1
# cable = 1234
# desc = "Something descriptive"
#
# To find out if your driver supports any extra settings, start it with
# the -h option and/or read the driver's documentation.
[Eaton_5E]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "Eaton 5E"
vendorid = 0463
offdelay = 30
ondelay = 40
Every time I had a Connection failure warning with NUT I had to move the part of the connector attached to the UPS for proper connection. I think I might move it inadvertently because it’s tight between a wall and the computer desk. Try to un/plug it to the UPS and see if it connects again.
I changed the USB port, it didn’t help.
The UPS is connected, but the UPSC can’t connect:

Showing some random lines of unknown logs without as much as describing what you did to generate these logs and where they come from is of little use. Still trying educated guess
Signal 15 is SIGTERM and it appears after approximately 90 seconds (shown lines obviously did not include starting of your program) which is the default systemd timeout so most likely the unit definition of your service does not match the actual program behavior. As the result, systemd believes that your service failed to start and stops all processes started so far during service activation.
