Select type of the device, which you want to monitor, from the predefined templates.
Eaton/MGE UPS
When monitoring EATON/MGE UPS devices, all data are read directly from network card on the UPS (using a CHAT script through SNMP) and on the very computer. There's no need for any other settings, where the Watch is.
You only need to set IP address of the network card, and you should already be able to view the required data.
You can view the current state of a Watch anytime after login to CM portal. Watches can be found in the section Presentation and Evaluation -> Presentation -> Watches (Online monitoring). In this section, you can adjust individual evaluated parameters as well. The following image illustrates a Watch for evaluation of an EATON/MGE type of UPS.
