Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds
The Threshold Configuration tab enables you to configure event conditions. From this tab, you
configure threshold traits, alarms, and email configuration.
Use the following procedures to configure threshold traits for all classes except for the FRU class. Use
the procedure described in “Configuring Alarms for FRUs” on page 13-6 for the FRU class.

procedure, you can configure the following traits for a threshold:
Unit The string used to define the units of measurement for the area
Time Base The time base (second, minute, hour, day) for the area
Low Boundary The low threshold for the event-setting comparisons
High Boundary The high threshold for the event-setting comparisons
Buffer Size The size of the buffer zone used in event-setting comparisons
To configure threshold traits

2. Click the Threshold Configuration tab (see Figure 13-2 on page 13-4).
