tools to view, browse, and manipulate Brocade switch variables (MIBs) remotely. Every Brocade switch and director supports SNMP. When an event occurs and its severity level is at or below the set value, the Event Trap traps swFabricWatchTrap), are sent to configured trap recipients.

the event, a continuous behavior type signals you continuously after a threshold has been crossed. For specific configuration procedures, refer to the following chapters in this guide: • "Setting Fabric Watch custom and default values" on page 35 • "Customizing thConfig command settings" on page 52 - HP Brocade 8/12c | Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001770-01, Jun - Page 29
. When the SNMP agent is configured to a specific error message level, error messages at that level trigger SNMP traps. An SNMP trap forwards the following information to an SNMP management station: • Name of the element whose counter registered an event • Class, area, and index number of the - HP Brocade 8/12c | Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001770-01, Jun - Page 30
to event classes is also tracked and made available. For example, you can track changes from an external source by the user name, IP address, or type of management interface used to access the switch.

that has little or no practical value to the SAN administrator. • Consolidating multiple messages generated from a single event. Before you begin an implementation, make some decisions surrounding the following major configuration tasks.

before you apply the threshold configuration to more switches or fabrics. NOTE You cannot configure different thresholds for server and storage ports, because threshold configuration is an area-wide setting and cannot be configured on an element (port).

not realistic for the class and area, messages may be sent frequently without need. For example, a high threshold for temperature monitoring set to less than room temperature is probably incorrectly configured. • If the event setting is continuous, consider switching to triggered.

values are of the following types: • High and low thresholds • Buffer values High and low thresholds High and low threshold values are the values at which potential problems might occur. For example, in configuring a temperature threshold, you can select the temperatures at which a potential - HP Brocade 8/12c | Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001770-01, Jun - Page 36
Figure 2 shows how to limit the number of event notifications using a buffer. When you specify a buffer, events cannot occur below the high threshold and above the low threshold or above the high threshold value. FIGURE 2 A buffered data region 16 Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 53-1001770-01 - HP Brocade 8/12c | Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001770-01, Jun - Page 37
set a time base to a value other than none, there are two main points to remember when configuring events: • Fabric Watch triggers an event only if the difference in the data value exceeds the preset The following examples illustrate each point. Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 17 53-1001770-01 - HP Brocade 8/12c | Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001770-01, Jun - Page 38
event. A time base of minute is defined. An event occurs only if the rate of change in the specific interval (one minute in this example) is across the threshold boundary. It should be either higher than the is well above the high threshold. 18 Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 53-1001770-01 - HP Brocade 8/12c | Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001770-01, Jun - Page 39
