Performance monitoring setting guidelines
It is recommended that you leave the entire Performance Monitor Class and End-to-End
Performance Monitor Class area settings in their default state (no alerts).
Performance Monitor class default settings
Table 10 provides default settings for areas in the Customer-Defined Performance Monitor class.
Table 11 provides default settings for areas in the End-to-End Performance Monitor class.
thConfig command
You can use the thConfig command to customize event monitoring thresholds for the Fabric,
Security, SFP, and Performance classes, or to display the configuration. It is recommended,
however, that you use the default settings for these classes.
If configured areas exceed the currently-effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch daemon can
take one of the following actions:
• Send an SNMP alarm.
• Log a RASlog message.
• Send an e-mail alert.
Table 12 lists the configuration options for thConfig command. For complete information about
using the thConfig command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.
