To perform performance monitoring, the EGM license must be enabled on the switch; otherwise, when you click on the Performance Monitor tab, access to this feature is denied and an error messages displays. NOTE The EGM license is required only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, the Encryption Switch, the 300, 5300, and 5100 switches. For non-8 Gbps platforms, all functionalities are available without EGM license. The Basic Monitoring menu in Performance Monitor is standard in the Web Tools software. Any user logged into Web Tools with an associated role of zoneadmin or securityadmin cannot open Performance Monitor. The roles user, operator, and basicswitchadmin are allowed to perform basic monitoring tasks except save or display canvas operations in any Admin Domain context. Only users with the admin, switchadmin and fabricadmin roles associated with their login accounts are able to save or display a canvas. Use the Basic Monitoring option in the Performance Graphs window to: • Create user-definable reports. • Display a performance canvas for application-level or fabric-level views. • Save persistent graphs across reboots (saves parameter data across reboots). The Advanced Monitoring menu in Performance Monitor is an optionally licensed feature. To utilize the Advanced Monitoring feature you must have a license installed and you must log in using an account with an admin, switchadmin, or fabricadmin role.
