Fabric Watch classes (Continued)TABLE 1
Class Description
Performance
Monitor
Serves as a tuning tool. The Performance Monitor class groups areas that track the source
and destination of traffic. Use the Performance Monitor class thresholds and notifications to
determine traffic load and flow and to reallocate resources appropriately.
The Performance Monitor class is divided into the following areas: EE (end-to-end)
Performance Monitor, and Filter Performance Monitor.
NOTE
Performance Monitoring is not supported on VE_Ports, EX_Ports, and VEX _Ports.
Configure the Performance class using the thConfig command.
Port Enables you to set additional thresholds specific to different types of ports.
The Port class is made up of the following sub-classes:
• E_Port class — Represents ports connected to another switch.
• FOP_Port class — Represents fabric or fabric loop ports that are made of optical fiber.
• FCU_Port class — Represents fabric or fabric loop ports that are made of copper.
• VE_Port — Represents a port that is similar to the E_Port but terminates at the switch and
does not propagate fabric services from one edge fabric to another.
Configure the Port class using the portThConfig command.
Resource Manages your system’s memory or CPU usage.
Monitors flash memory. It calculates the amount of flash space consumed and compares it to
a defined threshold.
Configure the Resource class using the sysMonitor command.
Security Monitors all attempts to breach your SAN security, helping you fine-tune your security
measures.
Configure the Security class using the thConfig command.
SFP Groups areas that monitor the physical aspects of SFPs. An SFP class alarm alerts you to an
SFP malfunction fault. SFP performance monitoring is not supported on VE_Ports.
NOTE
SFPs connected to any GbE ports are not monitored.
Configure the SFP class using the thConfig command.
