Adding and editing an APC UPS Monitor
An APC UPS monitor watches your American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power
Supply (APC UPS) device and alerts you when selected thresholds are met or exceeded,
output states are reached, and/or abnormal conditions are met. For example, an alert can be
sent when the UPS battery capacity is below 20%, when the battery temperature is high,
when the battery is in bypass mode due to a battery overload state, and many other UPS alert
conditions.
