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
- Run supportSave (SAN only)
Monitor audit logs and event logs for specified conditions.
Support application events.
