Fabric Watch alarm information

From Fabric Watch, you can view two types of reports:

• Alarm notifications—Displays the alarms that occurred for a selected class/area

• Alarm configuration—Displays threshold and alarm configurations for a selected class/area

Viewing an alarm configuration report

Use the Threshold Configuration tab, Configuration Report subtab to display a report of the

configuration for a selected class/area with the following information:

• Threshold settings (labeled Threshold Configuration)

• Notification settings (labeled Action Configuration)

• Element settings (not labeled)

You can scroll through this information, but cannot make changes.

1. Open the Fabric Watch window.

2. Click the Threshold Configuration tab.

3. Click a previously configured element from Fabric Watch Explorer (see “Enabling or disabling

threshold alarms for individual elements” on page 181).

4. Under Area Selection, click the alarm area report to be viewed.

5. Click the Configuration Report subtab.

This tab displays a report of the configuration for the selected area.

Displaying alarms

Using the Alarm Notification tab, you can view a list of all alarms that occurred for a selected class/

area (see Figure 88 on page 178). Table 15 describes the columns in this report. You can click the

header of each column to change the way the information is sorted in your view. You can also right-

click the column header and choose sort options from a menu.

NOTE

Note that for the FRU class, only the Name, State, and Time columns are displayed. In addition, if

the FRU area is Fan, the Name column refers to either a fan or a fan FRU, depending on the switch

model. See “Viewing detailed fan hardware status” on page 154 for more information.)
