Using Fabric Watch Areas Table 2: Fabric Watch Classes (Continued) Class SFP performance monitor field replaceable unit (FRU) switch availability monitor (SAM) security Description The SFP class groups areas that monitor the physical aspects of SFPs. A SFP class alarm alerts you to faults that indicate that an SFP may have deteriorated. The performance monitor class appears as the following three separate classes: ■ AL_PA performance monitor ■ EE (end-to-end) performance monitor ■ Filter performance monitor The performance monitor classes serve as tuning tools. Performance monitor classes group areas that track the source and destination of traffic. You can use performance monitor class thresholds and alarms to determine traffic load and flow, and to reallocate resources appropriately. The FRU class monitors the status of FRUs and alerts you if you must replace a FRU. This class monitors states, not thresholds. The SAM class monitors the efficiency of ports. The SAM class provides statistics on switch downtime and uptime. SAM helps you identify problems with ports. The security class monitors attempts to crack your SAN security. This class helps you fine-tune your security measures. Areas represent behaviors that Fabric Watch monitors. The tables in this section discuss all Fabric Watch areas by class. Table 3 lists Fabric Watch areas in the environment class and provides a description of each area. 32 Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
