3 Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds Table 3-8 describes the event behavior of each element in the Threshold Boundary menu. Table 3-8 Element Listing Information - Threshold Boundary Menu Heading Meaning Default The Fabric OS default settings Custom User-defined settings 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 3-10 on page 3-13. 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 3-9 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). To calculate the values to specify in your alarms: 1. Add the numbers beside each state (for the states you want to include). The values for the states are: • Errlog - 1 • SnmpTrap - 2 • PortLogLock - 4 • RapiTrap - 8 • EmailAlert - 16 3-10 Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000243-01
