IP configuration requirements

To be able to use SNMP Monitor for performance monitoring, make sure the following requirements

are met:

• Ensure that SNMP is enabled on the devices you want to monitor and that SNMP community

strings have been defined for set and get operations.

• Make sure discovery has been run and the devices appear on the Network Object Manager

tree. If a device is not on the tree, add the device using Network Object Manager.

• Define what data you want to collect.

• If you need to monitor devices within specific device groups, you must create the device

groups.

• You must have the SNMP Monitor privilege in your user account or role.

Management application comes with default MIB files, such as standard MIB and Brocade

proprietary MIB files.

IP real-time performance monitoring

Real-time performance monitoring allows you to view a snapshot of current performance data. You

can enable real-time performance monitoring without configuring historical data collectors. The

data is not stored in the database. Performance monitoring allows you to define a data collector by

mapping a Management Information Base (MIB) object to a unit name (refer to “MIB data

collectors” on page 1143).

Real-time performance measures are built-in expressions. The following measures are available:

Monitoring real-time performance
