3 Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds Step 2: Configure Thresholds After you have identified and selected the appropriate class and areas, you can configure thresholds for those classes and areas. If you want a basic configuration, accept the default configuration settings. Unless you want to accept the basic (default) configuration, or first disable, enable, or refresh all existing thresholds, proceed to option 4, advanced configuration. Note There are a variety of reasons. For example, you might have 10 E_Ports to monitor, but you want to monitor only 8 of them because the remaining 2 are experiencing performance problems. If you disable monitoring for an element, Fabric Watch does not display this information for it. The RXPerformance area menu (Figure 3-3) displays the following five options, which are described in the following sections: 1 : refresh 2 : disable a threshold 3 : enable a threshold 4 : advanced configuration 5 : return to previous page 1.

Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds
3
Step 2: Configure Thresholds
After you have identified and selected the appropriate class and areas, you can configure thresholds for
those classes and areas. If you want a basic configuration, accept the default configuration settings.
Unless you want to accept the basic (default) configuration, or first disable, enable, or refresh all existing
thresholds, proceed to option 4, advanced configuration.
The RXPerformance area menu (
Figure 3-3
) displays the following five options, which are described in
the following sections:
1. Refresh
The
refresh
option redraws the screen with the most recently updated monitoring information. After the
screen refreshes, the same five options appear.
2. Disable a threshold
To stop monitoring a selected option, use the
disable a threshold
option, as follows:
1.
Type
2
at the command prompt.
The system generates output similar to that in
Figure 3-4
, but the output you see varies based on the
class and area you selected.
In
Figure 3-4
, the numerical values shown in between the brackets (in this case, 216-223)
correspond to the index numbers of the elements within the area. The first element is always
selected by default.
2.
Type the index number of the element for which Fabric Watch should disable monitoring.
Note
There are a variety of reasons. For example, you might have 10 E_Ports to monitor, but you want to
monitor only 8 of them because the remaining 2 are experiencing performance problems. If you disable
monitoring for an element, Fabric Watch does not display this information for it.
