perfMonitorShow
Displays end-to-end, filter-based, and ISL monitors on a port.
Synopsis perfmonitorshow --class monitor_class [slotnumber/]portnumber [interval]
Description Use this command to display previously created monitors on a port. Monitor classes include end-to-end
monitors (EE), filter-based monitors (FLT), and Inter-Switch Link monitors (ISL).
ISL monitors are automatically activated on E_Ports (not including trunk slaves). End-to-end monitors
are created using perfAddEEMonitor. Filter-based monitors are created using perfAddIPMonitor,
perfAddReadMonitor, perfAddRWMonitor, perfAddSCSIMonitor, perfAddUserMonitor, or
perfAddWriteMonitor.
For end-to-end monitors, this command displays (if no interval operand is specified):
Key The monitor number
SID Source Port ID
DID Destination Port ID
Owner_app Telnet or Web Tools
Owner_ip_addr The IP address of the originator that created the EE monitor
Tx_count Number of FC words transmitted
Rx_count Number of FC words received
Crc_count Number of frames with CRC errors
If you do not specify a value for the interval operand, this command displays end-to-end monitor
information and a cumulative count of the traffic detected by the monitor. If you specify a value for the
interval operand, this command displays a snapshot of the traffic at the specified interval.
For filter-based monitors, this command can display (if no interval operand is specified) the following:
Key The monitor number
Alias The monitor alias name
Owner_app Telnet or Web Tools
Owner_ip_addr The IP address of the originator that created the filter monitor
Frame_count Cumulative 64-bit frame count
If you do not specify a value for the interval operand, this command displays a cumulative count of the
traffic detected by the monitor. If you specify a value for the interval operand, this command displays a
snapshot of the traffic at the specified interval.
For ISL monitors, whether or not interval is specified, the command displays:
Tx_count 64-bit cumulative ISL transmit count for the whole ISL
Num_ports Number of ports in this ISL (one for a standalone ISL, more for trunks)
Num_domains Total number of domains being monitored
Domain_count 64-bit cumulative transmit counter for each individual domain
