Threshold Alerts
A threshold alert notifies Element Manager users when the transmit (Tx) or
receive (Rx) throughput reaches specific values for director ports or port types
(E_Ports or F_Ports).
To display the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box, click Configure >
Threshold Alerts. Use this dialog box to configure criteria for generating a
threshold alert.
One criteria that you must configure is a throughput value that equals a specific
percentage of the port’s total throughput capacity. You also provide a time interval
during which throughput is measured and a time interval during which that
throughput value must remain constant. When throughput reaches the threshold
value and remains constant for the specified time, an alert is generated.
Threshold alerts appear in the following manner in the Element Manager:
■ An attention indicator (yellow triangle) displays on the port in the Port Card
View.
■ An attention indicator (yellow triangle) displays on the port card in the
Hardware View.
■ An attention indicator (yellow triangle) displays in the Alert column in the
Port List View.
■ An attention indicator (yellow triangle) displays by the Threshold Alerts
field in the Port Properties dialog box.
■ Detailed threshold alert data displays in the Threshold Alert Log.
For detailed procedures to configure threshold alerts, see “Configuring Threshold
Alerts” on page 155.
