Setting up watchonly addresses in Bitcoin core

[calkob]

Hi all,  How do i go about setting up watch only addresses in bitcoin core?  is it even possible?  i did have a look in the console and seen a few references to it but it would work when i tried it.

many thanks

Here you go:

ImportAddress

Requires wallet support. Added in Bitcoin Core 0.10.0.

The importaddress RPC adds an address or pubkey script to the wallet without the associated private key, allowing you to watch for transactions affecting that address or pubkey script without being able to spend any of its outputs.
