Performance Monitor overview

Predefined performance graphs
Web Tools predefines basic graph types to simplify performance monitoring. A wide range of
end-to-end fabric, LUN, device, and port metrics graphs are included.
Table 11 lists the basic monitoring graphs available. Table 12 lists the advanced monitoring
graphs.
The advanced monitoring graphs give more detailed performance information to help you manage
your fabric. You can access the basic monitoring graphs on all switches; advanced monitoring
graphs are available only on switches that have a Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring
license activated.
TABLE 11 Basic performance graphs
Graph type Display description
Port Throughput The performance of a port, in bytes per second, for frames received and
transmitted.
Switch Aggregate Throughput The aggregate performance of all ports on a switch.
Blade Aggregate Throughput The aggregate performance of all ports on a port card. This graph is
available only for the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms.
Switch Throughput Utilization The port throughput, in Gbps at the time the sample is taken. For the
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, this graph displays the
throughput for each slot. You can customize this graph to display
information for particular ports.
Port Error CRC errors for a given port.
Switch Percent Utilization The percentage utilization for each port in a switch. For the Brocade DCX,
this graph displays the percent utilization for each slot. You can customize
this graph to display information for particular ports.
Port Snapshot Error The CRC error count between sampling periods for all the ports on a switch.
For the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, this graph
displays the CRC error rate for each slot. You can customize this graph to
display information for particular ports.
TABLE 12 Advanced performance monitoring graphs
Graph type Display description
SID/DID Performance The traffic between the SID-DID pair on the switch being managed. The
member selection list in the LHS displays the port in the current switch only.
The All Devices tab lists all the devices in the fabric. SID/DID Performance
can be used to select the source and destination. For more information,
refer to “Creating SID-DID Performance graphs” on page 111.
SCSI vs. IP Traffic The percentage of SCSI versus IP frame traffic on each individual port. For
more information, refer to “Creating the SCSI vs. IP Traffic graph” on
page 112.
SCSI Commands by port and LUN
(R, W, R/W)
The total number of read/write commands on a given port to a specific LUN.
For more information, refer to “Creating SCSI command graphs” on
page 112.
