Hello, new to forum. I recently installed this power manager using DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3 I In the Poweroff I have: yearday 1,60,121,182,244,305 AT 05:00 Enabled, checked off. It said in the Welcome screen: Waiting for shutdown time, and the correct date and time were listed. May 1st rolled around and no shutdown occurred. I see a log was created (LOGS\synoscheduler), but I'm not sure how to interpret: % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left...

Hi first of all - APM is such a great tool - thx so much for it! I had an issue upgrading to the newest version 4.3 on my DS918+ with DSM 7.2.2 Update 3. The install wizard suggests to deselect 'Run after installation' on the next wizard page () - however, there was no such checkbox on that page () and therefore the automatic run after installation failed () leaving the package in a "damaged" state (). The "Repair" option just downloaded the package again and started the installation from scratch....

Hello everyone, I am currently using DSM6 and would like to upgrade to DSM 7.2.1. I could not find any "official" information on whether the current version of Advanced Power Manager for Synology is compatible with DSM 7.2.1.

So I need to write out all the odd or even weeks? (Ex. 1, 3, 5, 7, ...) ?
-
This is possible through using a week <number> scheme with numbers because odd or even numbers. Note however that the NAS will powerup automatically every 6 days to rearm the timer, then stop automatically, because of a firmware limitation.
-
Hello, I need to set up to power on/off NAS every other week (every 14 days) for example every other wednesday at specific time and I'm clueless how to set it up with the options that APM provides. Can anyone help?

Hans Peter posted a comment on ticket #36
Thanks for the new version. Everything work fine!

4.3 is exactly the nightly build, so no need to remove/install the newer. If you remove the nightly build, I believe you will lose your settings.

Juergen posted a comment on ticket #36
Hi Renauld is 4.3 different from the recent nightly build? Would I need to install it when the nightly build works for me? If yes do I need to remove the nightly build before I install 4.3 Some weeks ago I wrote to Synology and told them that I am not happy with their energy management implementation and that with APM there is a great tool they should implement. Anyhow I doubt that it helps but if more people woudl approach them?

Advanced Power Manager for Synology NAS released /release-4/advpowermgr-DSM7-4.3.spk

Release 4.3

Removed failing test for unknown reason (issue with array ordering)

Fix for https://sourceforge.net/p/advpowermgr4ds/bugs/36/

Hi Jürgen, advpowermgr-DSM7-4.3.spk has been released right now. Regarding taking over the project, I have no contact within Synology, I tried some years ago with no success. All we need is some Perl developer, or the application to be rewritten in Python. This is feasible but requires time. If anyone is interested, I'm ready to spend time on providing rampup/support.
-
-
OK let me build an official package then
-
Anyhow thanks for this great piece of software. Your modification seems to work again. Maybe Synology could take over?
-
I didn't change any GUI code at all, so I guess it's due to newer version of DSM. Unfortunately I fear this will be my last update of the application, I don't have the hardware to test anymore and I just don't find the time to continue with this project. Ideally a developer should take over, but well, I doubt this ever happens.
-
Thanks for your time and efforts. I have installed it now, so far without any error message. The only thing I noticed is, that APM opens in a new tab in my browser and not in a window within DSM. But this is not critical I guess I will check if it works during the next days.

Hello, I'm very sorry, I didn't have any time checking more why it's failing. I can reproduce the failure with recent Perl but didn't understand why it's happening.

-
Hello, looks like the issue is non-compatible code between 5.8 and 5.34 (I always built with 5.8 because on older DSM this was the perl release). I think I can reproduce the issue when compiling from my Linux box, I'll dig into this when I have time and report.
-
I have no clue on perl but I found this: The message "possible typo" in Perl often appears as a warning when you use a string that looks like a variable name but hasn't been declared as such. It's the Perl interpreter's way of suggesting that you might have made a mistake by using an undeclared variable name or symbol. The message "at symbol.pm line XX" indicates that this warning occurred in the file named "symbol.pm" at a specific line number (represented by "XX"). In your case, it seems like you're...

Hi, sorry guys, I'm in vacation and cannot access my DSM to check what could happen. Anyway I cannot maintain the software anymore because my DSM just doesn't run 7.x, it's too old for that. Since Rene states it works for him, it's possible the issue is with the Perl package used on your DSM, please check with him which version is installed in Package Manager. Renaud.

The advpowermgr-DSM7-4.2.spk don't work on 7.1.1 and newer!

Same issue on DSM 7.2-64570 Update 2 Is there any chance to get a running version?

My DS1621+ offered an update from 7.1 to 7.2 64570 Update 1.. I have the same perl version as in the previous post After that update APM didn't show up that it needs a repair and seems to run, but the DS did not go to sleep. So I uninstalled it to try a reinstall but during uninstall I got a similar message as above showing some errors in line 138?? Therefore I didn't try to install it again yet Has anyone found a fix yet? Or does a new install on 7.2 fix it?

Has anyone found a solution to get it work with DSM 7.2?

Same issue also on DSM 7.2-64561 with perl 5.34.1-0301 I hope we will get a fix!

Hey Mister Metrich Mister Peter I also have a problem with this Advance Power Management tool for DSM 71. I have a DS218j, the DS is up to date with 7.1 and I keep getting a script error message with a symbolic link to cell 138 perl, which I installed beforehand and then over ssh root right as described.

Hi. I'm sorry that I didn't react anymore. There where a lot of things going on then. But now I have time to take care again about this. The problem still persists. I attach a screenshot from the host plugin settings page. You will see that the host IP is 192.168.9.21 and not as I wrote before 192.168.9.20. I always used 192.168.9.21 and this is the correct IP. I have the following setup. My main DS is 192.168.9.20. I have two Backup-DS. First is 192.168.9.21, second is 192.168.9.22. There are several...

Error after install and starting on DSM 7.1.1.-42962 Update 4

Hi, thanks for your answer. Implementing this functionality using uptime seems to be a good idea because this tool already provides the average CPU usage for certain time ranges (1, 5, 15 minutes), thus eliminating the risk of measuring spikes. I could imagine the frontend options as follows: Enabled: [ ] Interval to measure CPU usage in minutes: {Dropdown 1 | 5 | 15 } CPU threshold in %: <input field> On my NAS (DS918+ / DS1515+) I'd probably set the interval to 15 minutes and the threshold to ...
-
Hello, I can probably implement this using a check on uptime, which would enable checking during last 1, 5 or 15 minutes. Still I would need your help to understand what would be the value in your case (where you had 44% utilization). Could you please collect some samples of uptime output while doing your test.
-
another example of a task with CPU load but almost no disk load is 'data cleaning' of a storage pool:

different sequence used during shutdown as Synology DSM 7 does itself?
-
Hi, There are multiple ways to shut down the NAS using APM, usually it's based on a timestamp + additional options (e.g. based on network traffic threshold), so you can probably use it for your needs. For example, when I want to stop my NAS after having watched something on my TV, I'm using the "ping" plugin which turns off the NAS only once my TV is off.

Hi, I just found this software/app when googling problems with my Synology NAS 1618+ with DSM 7.0.1-42218 Update 3. I am not able to make it hibernate or auto-turn off. The NAS is used for only one thing, to store ripped DVDs that I then play using KODI on an HTPC. I want the NAS to switch off (as long as that does not affect the present wake-on-LAN which works well) when I exit KODI or switch off the HTPC that KODI is running on. Can APM do this for me?

Hi Thanks for the reply I am using DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1 Also, I checked "$POWEROFF_CMD = "/sbin/poweroff";" manually, It didnt worked as expected (it shuts down but without tasks) BUT: If i use synoshutdown --shutdown as root it is calling the tasks and then shutdown. Which is expected result. changed in "/volume1/@appstore/AdvancedPowerManagerDSM7/lib/AdvPowerMgr/System/syno.pm" It worked correctly. Thanks for help. Please update in next build.

Hello, APM triggers a poweroff command to shut down, do you mean that using synoshutdown --shutdown would be better and execute the tasks defined in the task planner? If so, you may try editing the lib/AdvPowerMgr/System/Syno.pm file and replace the command on line 58: 58 our $POWEROFF_CMD = "/sbin/poweroff"; There was a bug a long time ago, I added code in this file as well, in particular this block: 235 # Execute "shutdown tasks" if they exist (Bug #24 shutdown task not executed) 236 info("Executing...

This is the "Energie Zeitplan" indeed. Can you try setting something there, applying, then deleting the configuration, so that the BIOS resets itself?

Hello, from the logs it looks like to me the shutdown phase never enters and the NAS shuts down at 01:00. I think the issue is due to having a schedule in normal DSM "Power application" (I don't know the exact name). Please delete it if it's the case.

Please update Milestone to 4.2 !!

Install issue?
-
Please provide screenshots of the plugin configuration. I was talking of the Hosts plugin. - "192.168.9.20" means similar to "ping 192.168.9.20" command that is issued using command line
-
I can ping my DS from Windows so ping should not be blocked. but it has no effect in APM. and I can't save the specifications "ping 192.168.9.20" or "192.168.9.20 port 20". APM tells me that it is an syntax error. Don't know if you have seen my last question...would it be better to use the Host setting? I tried it also already with no effect. does it need a special syntax or only the IP?
-
Thank you. Or would it better to use Hosts instead? It's only about checking if a specific device is running or not...
-
By default the ping is done using a ICMP ping: ping 192.168.9.20 If the system is blocking pings, this won't work. You can also do a SYN ping; which makes the tool try to open a connection to 192.168.9.20 and port XXX you specified (e.g. if you set 192.168.9.20 port 22 it will try to connect to SSH port)
-
Thank you. Found the log. The DS should shut down at 03:10. I set a rule that it should not shut down if there is a connection. Settings: 192.168.9.20 1 1 The rule is activated. But the log file shows no detected connections. But the device on 192.168.9.20 is definitely on. Is there a special syntax needed? I don't understand the description in APM due to many terms I don't know.
