Fault management overview
Fault management enables you to monitor your managed SAN and IP networks using the following
methods:
• Listen, forward, and process SNMP traps for SAN and IP devices, which eliminates the need to
poll devices for events.
• Receive and forward Syslog messages from Fabric OS switches, IP devices, and Brocade
adapters — HBAs and CNAs are managed using the Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) Agent.
• Manage pseudo events.
• Configure the following event actions:
- Logging policy
- E-mail alerts
- Scripts
- Broadcast to clients
- Special events handling
- Deploy CLI configurations (IP only)
• Monitor audit logs and event logs for specified conditions.
• Support application events.
