sysmon log-backoff
Defines the number of times to skip logging an event before logging again at the global level. The no
form of this command resets the parameter to default value.
Syntax sysmon log-backoff number
no sysmon log-backoff
Parameters number
Specifies the number of times to skip an event logging before logging again.
Modes Global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines Logging every error may not provide any new information, but adds significantly to the number of error
entries that need to be analyzed. You can configure the system monitoring utility to ignore a certain
number of errors (within a stream of consecutive errors) before writing the entry to the log again.
This option helps you further isolate issues that randomly occur from issues because of device failure.
The sysmon utility keeps a counter of the number of times the threshold value is exceed. If the number
exceeds the back-off value, the error is logged as specified by the action option.
Examples The following example sets the number of times to skip logging to 20.
Brocade(config)# sysmon log-backoff 20
sysmon threshold
Defines the threshold for errors at the global level. The no form of this command resets the threshold
configuration to default values.
Syntax sysmon threshold events polling-interval
no sysmon threshold
Parameters events
Specifies the threshold in terms of the number of events. Valid values are 1 through 10.
When expressed in the command, the default value is 2.
polling-interval
Specifies the number of polling windows. The device polls the internal registers at the
interval specified by the sysmon timer value. Valid values 1-32. However, the polling
window number must be equal or greater than the number of events. When expressed in
the command, the default value is 10.
Modes Global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines The type-specific threshold values that you define overrides the global threshold value for each event.
However, if you define the global value later, the latest value prevails. The threshold is defined as N/W,
where N is the number of events, and W is the number of consecutive polling periods. When the
threshold is reached, actions configured for this event type will take place. Note that a threshold of 1/W
implies that there is no threshold, and the action will always be triggered.
