In-between buffer values
The below high threshold is the term used to configure “in between” buffer values, as shown in
Figure 1. In this example, the high threshold value is 5 and the buffer value is 1. Therefore, the
“in-between” boundary value is 4. Enter the portThConfig command using the following
parameters.
portthconfig --set port -area crc -highth -value 5 -trigger below -action raslog
-buffer 1

Threshold triggers
This section describes how Fabric Watch compares a fabric element’s data value against a
threshold value to determine whether or not to trigger an event. It describes how a specified buffer
zone affects event triggering.
For Fabric Watch to monitor data values for one of the following conditions, the alarm setting must
be set to a nonzero value.
