Using Fabric Watch Configurations and Profiles SAN administrators can use configuration files and Fabric Watch-specific configuration files (called profiles) to customize Fabric Watch and store customized instructions. The Configuration File The configuration file of a switch includes all Fabric Watch configuration information. You can edit a configuration file in a text editor to manually configure Fabric Watch thresholds and alarms. For more, refer to Configuration Files on page 110. Profiles Fabric Watch configurations, also known as profiles, are preset subsets of configuration files that cater to particular types of networks. You can downloand a Fabric Watch configuration to your switch and then configure Fabric Watch software to run from the subset or from your standard configuration file. Default vs. Custom Fabric Watch includes a default value for each element that you can configure. These default values constitute the default configuration. Users cannot alter the default values. Fabric Watch maintains a second, custom configuration that you can customize. To use custom values, configure your custom values and set Fabric Watch to use the custom configuration. Note: If a default value matches a custom value, you can save memory if you enter no custom value at all and configure Fabric Watch to use the default value. 52 Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
