Unit for result of custom poller

I created a custom poller to get the memory of a device. I have to transform the result. Therefore I want to set the a string (e.g. the unit --> MB) at the end of the formatted result.

How can I add a string?

You will need to edit the Custom Poller as xml.

Export your Custom Poller
Edit the UnDP file to add the units
Delete the original Custom Poller
Import the updated Custom Poller from the UnDP file

For example; I added the unit 'Watts' to this CustomPoller that multiplies the busVoltage and busCurrent together to calculate power. You cannot do this from the UnDP interface.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CustomPollers version="9.0">
  <CustomPoller UniqueName="busPower" Description="Bus Power (Watts)" OID="1.3.6.1.4.1.39145.10.10.1.3" MIB="" SNMPGetType="GetSubTree" NetObjectPrefix="N" GroupName="ict_distribution_series_mib" PollerType="F" Parser="None" IncludeHistory="True" Unit="Watts" TimeUnitId="0" TimeUnitQuantity="0" DefaultDisplayTimeUnitId="0" Formula="{busVoltage}*{busCurrent}" LabelType="SameTable" LabelDetail="1.3.6.1.4.1.39145.10.10.1.2">
    <Enumerations />
  </CustomPoller>
</CustomPollers>

Only the first letter of units shows up in tables. I'm not sure why; but here is what I got in the end.
