Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds
3
Step 3: Configure alarms
Alarms act as a signal or alert that notifies you when a threshold has been crossed. You can
configure the following types of notification settings for Fabric Watch:
• Triggered
A triggered behavior type signals you once, after a threshold has been crossed. Triggered is the
default behavior type signal for all class areas.
• Continuous
A continuous behavior type signals you continuously after a threshold has been crossed.
See “Fabric Watch alarm behavior” in Chapter 1, “Fabric Watch Concepts” for details about alarm
behavior, including a description of the threshold states that trigger alarms.
Figure 17 shows how to change the above alarm for the RXPerformance class. Here, a value of 19
is specified. The value is the sum of the alarm matrix values: in this case EmailAlert-16,
SnmpTrap-2, and Errlog-1 (16+2+1=19).
To calculate the values to specify in your alarms:
1. Add the numbers beside each state (for the states you want to include). The values for the
states are:
• Errlog - 1
• SnmpTrap - 2
• PortLogLock - 4
• RapiTrap - 8
• EmailAlert - 16
2. Enter the total at the prompt.
1 : change behavior type 11 : change threshold alarm level
2 : change behavior interval 12 : change changed alarm
3 : change threshold boundary level 13 : change belowalarm
4 : change custom unit 14 : change abovealarm
5 : change custom timebase 15 : change inBetween alarm
6 : change custom low 16 : apply threshold alarm changes
7 : change custom high 17 : cancel threshold alarm changes
8 : change custom buffer 18 : return to previous page
9 : apply threshold boundary changes
10 : cancel threshold boundary changes
Select choice => : (1..18) [18]14
