MAPS categories, measures, and actions
Table 175 details the object types for each category, the threshold measures for each object type,
and the action you can configure when a threshold is crossed.
TABLE 174 MAPS structural elements
Element Description
Action What MAPS is to do if a condition defined in a rule evaluates to true. For more information, refer to
“MAPS actions” on page 2004.
Category A grouping of similar elements that can be monitored (for example, “Security Violations”). For more
information, refer to “MAPS monitoring categories” on page 1993.
Condition A true/false trigger created by the combination of a time base and a threshold value. For more
information, refer to “MAPS conditions” on page 2003.
Measure A value that can be monitored. This includes switch conditions, data traffic levels, error messages, and
many other values. For more information, refer to the specific category in “MAPS monitoring
categories” on page 1993.
Object An object that can be monitored. This includes FC ports, SFP transceivers, local switch, flow, and other
values. For more information, refer to “MAPS categories, measures, and actions” on page 1991.
Group A collection of similar objects that you can monitor as a single entity. For example, you can create a
group of E_Ports from different devices to be monitored by the same policies. A flow can be imported
as a group. For more information, refer to “MAPS groups” on page 2021.
Rule A rule associates a condition with one or more actions that need to occur when the specified condition
is triggered. For more information, refer to “MAPS rules” on page 2003.
Policy A set of rules defining thresholds for triggering the actions MAPS takes when that threshold is
triggered. When a policy is enabled, all of the rules in the policy are in effect. For more information,
refer to “MAPS policies” on page 2001.
