For details about advanced configuration menu options, see Table 14 on page 41. STEP 3: CONFIGURE ALARMS Alarms act as a signal or alert that notifies you when a threshold has been crossed. You can configure the following types of notification settings for Fabric Watch: • Triggered A triggered behavior type signals you once, after a threshold has been crossed. Triggered is the default behavior type signal for all class areas. • Continuous A continuous behavior type signals you continuously after a threshold has been crossed. See "Fabric Watch alarm behavior" in Chapter 1, "Fabric Watch Concepts" for details about alarm behavior, including a description of the threshold states that trigger alarms. Figure 18 shows how to change the above alarm for the RXPerformance class. Here, a value of 19 is specified. The value is the sum of the alarm matrix values: in this case EmailAlert-16, SnmpTrap-2, and Errlog-1 (16+2+1=19).

FIGURE 17
Applying threshold boundary changes
NOTE
To ensure that your threshold setting configuration takes effect, remember to apply the threshold
boundary changes, and then change the threshold boundary level to Custom.
Table 13
describes the event behavior of each element in the Threshold Boundary menu.
Use the following commands to switch between custom and default values:
-
fwSetToCustom
Sets the boundary and alarm level to custom
-
fwSetToDefault
Restores the boundary and alarm level to the default
See
Chapter 1, “Fabric Watch Concepts”
for details about the event setting table and notification
methods for each of the possible event settings.
For details about advanced configuration menu options, see
Table 14
on page 41.
STEP 3: CONFIGURE ALARMS
Alarms act as a signal or alert that notifies you when a threshold has been crossed. You can
configure the following types of notification settings for Fabric Watch:
•
Triggered
A triggered behavior type signals you once, after a threshold has been crossed. Triggered is the
default behavior type signal for all class areas.
•
Continuous
A continuous behavior type signals you continuously after a threshold has been crossed.
See
“Fabric Watch alarm behavior”
in
Chapter 1, “Fabric Watch Concepts”
for details about alarm
behavior, including a description of the threshold states that trigger alarms.
Figure 18
shows how to change the above alarm for the RXPerformance class. Here, a value of 19
is specified. The value is the sum of the alarm matrix values: in this case EmailAlert-16,
SnmpTrap-2, and Errlog-1 (16+2+1=19).
