See ”Fabric watch components” on page 13 for more details about classes and areas.
Step 2: Configure thresholds
After you’ve 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. Unless
you want to accept the basic (default) configuration, or first disable, enable, or refresh all existing
thresholds, proceed to option 4, advanced configuration.
NOTE: For example, you might have ten E-Ports to monitor, but you want to monitor only 8 of them
because the remaining 2 are experiencing performance problems. If you disable monitoring for an
element, Fabric Watch does not display this information for it.
The RXPerformance area menu displays the following five options, described in the following sections:
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. Enter 2 at the command prompt.
The system generates similar output to the following:
2. Enter the index number of the element for which Fabric Watch should disable monitoring.
LastVal The data value of the element at the time of the last event
LastState The last detected state of the element
