FIGURE 74 Configuring port data collection
End-to-end monitoring
Using the end-to-end monitoring feature, you can collect information about the traffic generated
between devices (end-to-end), the receive/transmit traffic between devices, or both. The
end-to-end monitor data is not stored on the Fabric Manager database during periods when the
feature is not enabled.
NOTE
End-to-end Monitor is designed to be enabled at all times. Its benefits are diminished if the historical
data is not available to you when you need it.
Before you can enable or disable end-to-end monitoring, you must be logged in to the seed switch
of the fabric you want to monitor. For end-to-end performance monitoring, an active Advanced
Performance Monitoring license is required on switches that you want to monitor. Performance
monitoring of port statistics does not require any special licenses on the switches that you want to
monitor.
