Adding an APC ATS

eG Enterprise monitors the APC ATS switch using an eG external agent that is deployed on any remote host in the environment. This eG agent polls the SNMP MIB of the APC ATS at configured intervals to gather its performance statistics .

Before attempting to monitor the switch, ensure that the switch is SNMP-enabled. The steps for manually adding an APC ATS component are detailed below:

1. Login to the eG admin interface as a user with administrative privileges.
2. Follow the Infrastructure -> Components -> Add/Modify Component menu sequence in the Admin tile menu.
3. From the page that appears, select APC ATS as the Component type and click the Add New Component button.

4. Figure 1 will then appear.
