Adding and Editing an APC UPS Performance Monitor

The APC UPS performance monitor collects statistical output power usage information and graphs APC UPS power utilization over time. This monitor detects when UPS devices are close to maximum performance level, and what time of day networking devices connected to UPS devices are using the most power—both indicating the need to equally distribute the load across several UPS devices.

Note: This feature is available with WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition only. To update your license, visit the WhatsUp Customer Portal.
