NAS-129384 / 24.10 / Fix netdata spamming logs

[Qubad786]

Problem

We were seeing logs being continuously written to, after investigation, we found that only the UPS plugin of netdata is causing issues. When UPS is not configured, the failed upsc -l command returns an error, spamming the Netdata logs and causing the log file size to increase continuously.

Solution

Modify the Netdata plugin to avoid executing the upsc command when upsmon process is not running. Additionally, disable access logs since only the errors.log is used for debugging, thereby preventing unnecessary log file growth.

Again sorry, but no. We're shell'ing out every 1/2 seconds for this stuff. We can't do this on our enterprise systems so we're going to have to come up with a better solution. If that means we have to disable UPS reporting for now, then so be it.
