3 Advanced Performance Monitoring Advanced Performance Monitoring Advanced Performance Monitoring (APM) is a licensed feature that allows you to monitor traffic on a specific port. This feature supports end to end and frame monitors. The following licenses must be appropriately installed on the AG switch to use end-to-end and frame monitors: • APM • Fabric Watch You can use the following Fabric OS commands used to manage APM in switch mode to manage end to end and frame monitoring in AG mode. Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual and Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for details. • perfAddEEMonitor • perfMonitorClear • perfMonitorShow --class EE • perfResourceShow • perfCfgSave • perfCfgClear • perfCfgRestore • fmmonitor You can also use Fabric Watch to configure thresholds corresponding to specific frame monitors Refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide for details. End-to-end monitors End-to-end monitors measure the traffic between a host and target pair by counting the number of words in Fibre Channel frames for a specified Source ID (SID) and Destination ID (DID) pair. An end-to-end performance monitor includes these counts: • RX_COUNT - Words in frames received at the port • TX_COUNT - Words in frames transmitted from the port To enable end-to-end performance monitoring, you must install an end-to-end monitor on an F_Port using the perfAddEEMonitor command, specifying the SID-DID pair (in hexadecimal). End-to-end monitoring on N-ports is not supported in AG mode. Complete details of the perfAddEEMonitor command parameters are provided in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. NOTE End-to-end monitors are not supported on logical EX, VE, VEX, Mirror, or FCoE ports.

The following licenses must be appropriately installed on the AG switch to use end-to-end and
frame monitors:
•
APM
•
Fabric Watch
You can use the following Fabric OS commands used to manage APM in switch mode to manage
end to end and frame monitoring in AG mode. Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
and
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
for details.

You can also use Fabric Watch to configure thresholds corresponding to specific frame monitors
Refer to the
Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide
for details.
End-to-end monitors
End-to-end monitors measure the traffic between a host and target pair by counting the number of
words in Fibre Channel frames for a specified Source ID (SID) and Destination ID (DID) pair. An
end-to-end performance monitor includes these counts:
•
RX_COUNT - Words in frames received at the port
•
TX_COUNT - Words in frames transmitted from the port
To enable end-to-end performance monitoring, you must install an end-to-end monitor on an F_Port
using the
perfAddEEMonitor
command, specifying the SID-DID pair (in hexadecimal). End-to-end
monitoring on N-ports is not supported in AG mode. Complete details of the
perfAddEEMonitor
command parameters are provided in the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
.
NOTE
End-to-end monitors are not supported on logical EX, VE, VEX, Mirror, or FCoE ports.
