Fabric Watch User Guide Table 21: Fabric Watch Message Elements (Continued) Format Element Description Component The element relevant to the message. Message Text Textual message containing up to eight parameters. Component State When appropriate, Fabric Watch messages include the state of the component in question. The value is identified by a keyword and the entire expression is in parenthesis. Filtering Fabric Watch Messages Fabric Watch assigns a severity level to each message when it is produced. You can set a filter so that only messages of a particular severity level and above are sent to the system and error logs. For example, if the level is set to Warning, only Warning, Error, and Critical messages are displayed and logged. Filtered messages are not shown on the console. To filter Fabric Watch messages, issue the fwset --message command, and specify an integer that corresponds to one of the following Fabric Watch severity levels: ■ Debug - 5 ■ Info - 4 ■ Warning - 3 ■ Error - 2 ■ Critical - 1 To view the current filter level setting for Fabric Watch, issue the fwshow --message command. Setting Up Severity Level Filters on SNMP Using the agtcfgset command, you can specify a trap recipient severity level filter on SNMP. The trap severity level is associated with each trap recipient's IP address. After specifying the IP address, specify the severity level for an event. That IP address (and only that IP address) then receives notifications when the severity level for that event is reached or surpassed. You do receive notifications unless the error matches or surpasses the specified severity level. The severity level values for the traps are: ■ None - 0 ■ Debug - 5 ■ Info - 4 ■ Warning - 3 ■ Error - 2 ■ Critical - 1 Note: When you specify a severity level filter on SNMP, it applies to Fabric Watch messages as well, so both SNMP and Fabric Watch messages are filtered.

Fabric Watch User Guide

Fabric OS 3.x Document Addendum
Filtering Fabric Watch Messages
Fabric Watch assigns a severity level to each message when it is produced. You can set a filter
so that only messages of a particular severity level and above are sent to the system and error
logs. For example, if the level is set to Warning, only Warning, Error, and Critical messages
are displayed and logged. Filtered messages are not shown on the console.
To filter Fabric Watch messages, issue the
fwset --message
command, and specify an
integer that corresponds to one of the following Fabric Watch severity levels:
Debug - 5
Info - 4
Warning - 3
Error - 2
Critical - 1
To view the current filter level setting for Fabric Watch, issue the
fwshow --message
command.
Setting Up Severity Level Filters on SNMP
Using the
agtcfgset
command, you can specify a trap recipient severity level filter on
SNMP. The trap severity level is associated with each trap recipient’s IP address. After
specifying the IP address, specify the severity level for an event. That IP address (and only that
IP address) then receives notifications when the severity level for that event is reached or
surpassed. You do receive notifications unless the error matches or surpasses the specified
severity level.
The severity level values for the traps are:
None - 0
Debug - 5
Info - 4
Warning - 3
Error - 2
Critical - 1
Note:
When you specify a severity level filter on SNMP, it applies to Fabric Watch messages as well,
so both SNMP and Fabric Watch messages are filtered.
Component
The element relevant to the message.
Message Text
Textual message containing up to eight parameters.
Component State
When appropriate, Fabric Watch messages include the
state of the component in question. The value is identified
by a keyword and the entire expression is in parenthesis.
