Activating a Throughput Threshold Alert
In order to activate a throughput threshold alert using the CLI, you must enter
certain commands in order. Enable the threshold alert using the following order:
1. Create a throughput threshold alert using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.addAlert. Use this command to create a name
for the threshold alert that you can use in subsequent commands. The
threshold alert must then be configured using the other throughput threshold
alert commands.
2. Assign the threshold alert to a port using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.addPort.
3. Identify the throughput statistic that triggers the throughput threshold alert
using the command perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.setUtilType.
4. Identify the percentage of throughput that triggers the throughput threshold
alert using the command perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.SetUtilPercentage.
5. Configure the threshold alert using other perf.thresholdAlerts commands. For
example, you may want to set the duration and interval times for the alert, as
described in perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.setParams. Use the following
commands to view alert settings and configure an alert:
■ perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.removePort
■ perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.setParams
■ perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.show
■ perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.showUtilTypeTable
6. Once the alert is fully configured, it can be activated using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.setState. An alert cannot be modified unless it is in the
disabled state.
