Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds
3
Step 2: Configure thresholds
After you have identified and selected the appropriate class and areas, you can configure
thresholds for those classes and areas. If you want a basic configuration, accept the default
configuration settings. If you want to customize settings, proceed to option 4, advanced
configuration.
The RXPerformance area menu (Figure 10) displays the following five options, which are described
in the following sections:
1 : refresh
2 : disable a threshold
3 : enable a threshold
4 : advanced configuration
5 : return to previous page
1. Refresh
The refresh option redraws the screen with the most recently updated monitoring information. After
the screen refreshes, the same five options appear.
2. Disable a threshold
To stop monitoring a selected option, use the disable a threshold option, as follows:
1. Type 2 at the command prompt.
The system generates output similar to that in Figure 11 on page 33, but the output you see
varies based on the class and area you selected.
1 : refresh
2 : disable a threshold
3 : enable a threshold
4 : advanced configuration
5 : return to previous page
Select choice => : (1..5) [5] 2
In Figure 11, the numerical values shown in between the brackets (in this case, 216-223)
correspond to the index numbers of the elements within the area. The first element is always
selected by default.
2. Type the index number of the element for which Fabric Watch should disable monitoring.
Fabric Watch redraws the element table with the selected element disabled. The second row of
information about the selected element does not appear any more, and the status of the
element is set to disabled (see Figure 11).
