Configure Threshold Alerts
A threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput
reaches specified values for specific director ports or port types, (E_Ports or F_Ports).
You are notified of a threshold alert by:
• A yellow triangle that displays on the port in the Port Card View.
• A yellow triangle that displays on the port in the Hardware View.
• A yellow triangle that displays in the Alert column of the Port List View.
• A yellow triangle that displays by the Threshold Alerts field in the Port
Properties dialog box.
• Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.
Use the Threshold Alerts option on the Configure menu to configure the following:
• Name for the alert.
• Type of threshold for the alert (Rx, Tx, or either).
• Active or inactive state of the alert.
• Threshold criteria:
— Percent traffic capacity utilized—The percent of the port’s throughput
capacity achieved by the measured throughput. This setting constitutes the
threshold value. For example a value of 50 means that the port’s threshold is
reached when throughput is 50% of capacity.
— Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification can
occur.
