Configuration decisions Notification methods Fabric Watch alerts can be sent using one of the following notification methods, which are described in detail in "Fabric Watch event notifications" on page 3. We recommend using either SNMP trap alerting to your system management console or event log entry in conjunction with Syslog forwarding configured on your switches. RAPI traps and lock port logs are rarely used and it is difficult to post-process or integrate e-mail notifications into a systems management process. In addition, e-mail notifications are much more resource-consuming on the switch. Post-processing of messages After you have configured thresholds and alerts, determine to where the messages will be sent. Then, monitor the messages frequently and take the appropriate action. 10 Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 53-1001342-01

Configuration decisions
Notification methods
Fabric Watch alerts can be sent using one of the following notification methods, which are
described in detail in
“Fabric Watch event notifications”
on page 3.
We recommend using either SNMP trap alerting to your system management console or event log
entry in conjunction with Syslog forwarding configured on your switches.
RAPI traps and lock port logs are rarely used and it is difficult to post-process or integrate e-mail
notifications into a systems management process. In addition, e-mail notifications are much more
resource-consuming on the switch.
Post-processing of messages
After you have configured thresholds and alerts, determine to where the messages will be sent.
Then, monitor the messages frequently and take the appropriate action.
