APC UPS Performance Monitor
Use this dialog to configure a global APC UPS Performance Monitor. Global performance
monitors are configured in the Performance Monitor Library and can be applied to a device
via its Properties dialog (on page 121).
This 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.
Enter or select the appropriate information in the following fields.
Collection interval. Use the slider to select the amount of time (in minutes) that
WhatsUp Gold should wait between collection attempts.
SNMP Timeout. Use the slider to select the amount of time (in seconds) that you
want WhatsUp Gold to wait before it throws an error while attempting to collect data.
SNMP Retries. Use the slider to select the number of times you want WhatsUp Gold
to attempt collecting data.
Click OK to save changes.
Select Action and State
Select the action you want executed when the selected state change occurs. The Action to
execute pull-down menu is populated by entries in the Actions Library. Click the ... button to
access this library to create new actions, or to edit the actions listed there.
If the action selected is an Up action, then you must make a selection in the Only if the
following state was reached box. If the device reaches this state at any time, then reaches
the Up state, the Up action is fired. This means that the state can change again before it
reaches Up and since it reached at least the selected state, it still fires on the Up state.
Select Maintenance state if you want to fire an action when a device state changes to Up
after it is in Maintenance mode.
Click Blackout period to schedule a blackout time for the action.
