Stop monitoring of discovered fabrics
NOTE
Monitoring is not supported on Hosts.
When you stop monitoring a fabric, the Management application performs the following actions:
• Stops all data collection for the fabric and all associated devices.
• Unregisters as SNMP trap recipient from the fabric and all associated devices.
• Unregisters as SYSLOG recipient from the fabric and all associated devices.
• Does not perform any scheduled or on demand operations (other than monitor) on the fabric
and all associated devices.
• Removes the fabric and all associated devices from product list, topology, and all feature dialog
boxes.
• Displays the fabric and all associated devices in the Discovery Fabrics dialog box with the
unmonitored icon and prefixes “Unmonitored” to the discovery status
To stop monitoring a fabric and all associated devices, complete the following steps.
1. Select Discovery > Fabrics.
The Discover Fabrics dialog box displays.
2. Select the fabric you want to stop monitoring from the Discovered Fabrics table.
3. Click Unmonitor.
4. Click Close on the Discover Fabrics dialog box.
Stop monitoring of discovered switches
NOTE
You cannot stop monitoring the seed switch.
When you stop monitoring a switch, the Management application performs the following actions:
• Stops all data collection for the switch.
• Unregisters as SNMP trap recipient from the switch. For Virtual Fabric switches, only unregister
as SNMP trap recipient when all Virtual Fabric switches of that chassis are unmonitored.
• Unregisters as SYSLOG recipient from the switch. For Virtual Fabric switches, only unregister as
SYSLOG recipient when all Virtual Fabric switches of that chassis are unmonitored.
• Does not perform any scheduled or on demand operations (other than monitor) on the switch.
• Removes the switch from product list, topology, and all feature dialog boxes.
• Displays the switch in the Discovery Fabrics dialog box with the unmonitored icon and prefixes
“Unmonitored” to the discovery status.
The following details the behavior that occurs when you unmonitor a switch:
• If you unmonitor a switch, the switch does not display in the topology, but end devices
connected to the switch continue to display in the product list and topology (with no
connections).
