Fabric Watch notification
Fabric Watch provides the following notification methods, but not all notification methods can be
applied to all of the classes. Valid notification methods are represented through the valid alarm
matrix, which is described in
“Notification configuration”
in
Chapter 8, “Fabric Watch
Configurations”
.
Notification methods
Error log entry (switch event)
The switch event (error) log holds up to 1024 entries. This error log stores event information but
does not actively send alerts. Use the
errShow
command to view the log.
SNMP trap
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) performs an operation called a
trap
that
notifies a management station using SNMP protocol when events occur.
Log entries can also trigger SNMP traps if the SNMP agent is configured. When the SNMP agent is
configured to a specific error message level, then error messages at that level trigger SNMP traps.
For information on configuring the SNMP agent using the
snmpconfig
command, see the
Fabric OS
Command Reference.
