Monitoring Fabric Events

Fabric events are events generated by the Fabric OS. Fabric Manager displays these events in the

Information panel. These events are not stored in the Fabric Manager database.

Viewing Fabric Events

You can monitor fabric and switch events from the Events tab in the Information panel. The Events tab

allows you to filter events to include only the information you want, and export, copy, and print the

table.

You should view fabric events on a periodic basis to see if any action is required. How often you should

check depends on your company’s requirements.

Events have the following severities:

• Panic

• Critical

• Error

• Warning

• Information

• Debug

To view all events for a specific fabric

1. Select the fabric in the View panel.

2. Click the Events tab in the Information Panel.
