sysMonitor
Manages system memory or CPU usage.
Synopsis sysmonitor --config mem | cpu [-poll polling_interval] [-retry number_of_retries] [-limit
high_usage_limit] [-action [raslog ] [snmp]]
sysmonitor --show mem | cpu
sysmonitor --help
Description Use this command to configure system memory or CPU usage parameters on the switch or to
display memory or CPU usage. Configuration options include setting a threshold for resource usage
which, if exceeded, triggers a set of specified Fabric Watch alerts. You can set up the system
monitor to poll at certain intervals and specify the number of retries required before Fabric Watch
takes action.
If executed without operands, the command prints the usage.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
