ArubaOS.
Enabling Capacity Alerts
Use the capacity alert feature to set controller capacity thresholds which, when exceeded, will trigger alerts. The
controller will send a wlsxThresholdExceeded SNMP trap and a syslog error message when the controller has
exceeded a set percentage of the total capacity for that resource. A wlsxThresholdCleared SNMP trap and error
message will be triggered if the resource usage drops below the threshold once again.
The following table describes the thresholds that can be configured with this feature.
