Fault management overview
Fault management enables you to monitor your SAN using the following methods:
• Monitor logs for specified conditions and notify you or run a script when the specified condition
is met.
• Create event-based policies, which contain an event trigger and action.
• Configure E-mail event notification.
• Listen, forward, and process SNMP traps from Fabric OS switches, which eliminates the need
to poll switches for events.
• Receive and forward Syslog messages from Fabric OS switches and Brocade HBAs (managed
using HCM Agent).
Fault management also supports application events.
