For more information, see "Creating Templates for Reports and Graphs" on page 8-14. Enabling Performance Monitoring Using the performance monitoring feature, you can collect information about the traffic generated between ports (end-to-end) and/or the receive/transmit traffic on individual switch ports. The performance monitor data is not stored on the Fabric Manager database during periods when the feature is not enabled. Note Performance monitor is designed to be enabled at all times. Its benefits are diminished if the historical data is not available to you when you need it. Before you can enable performance monitoring, you must be logged in to the seed switch of the fabric you want to monitor. For end-to-end performance monitoring, an active Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring license is required on switches that you want to monitor. Performance monitoring of port statistics does not require any special licenses on the switches that you want to monitor. Note The retrieval of port statistics and end-to-end monitoring of data can take longer than expected if you issue any CPU-intensive commands (such as the portTest diagnostic command) while performance monitoring is enabled.
