Fabric Watch threshold configuration using Web Tools
The Threshold Configuration tab enables you to configure event conditions. From this tab, you
configure threshold traits, alarms, and e-mail configurations.
NOTE
Use the procedures in this section to configure threshold traits for all classes except for the FRU class.
Use the procedure described in
Configuring alarms for FRUs using Web Tools on page 103 for the
FRU class.
Configuring threshold traits
Configure threshold traits to define a threshold for a particular class and area. You can configure the
following traits for a threshold:
• Time Base — The time base (minute, hour, day) for the area
• Low Boundary — The low threshold for the event-setting comparisons
• High Boundary — The high threshold for the event-setting comparisons
• Buffer Size — The size of the buffer zone used in event-setting comparisons
NOTE
When you are configuring the VE-Port > Packet Loss area thresholds, the packet loss threshold values
are a percentage. You can configure from 0.01 percent (low boundary) to 100.00 percent (high
boundary).
To configure threshold traits, perform the following steps:
1. Click Fabric Watch in the Manage section of the Tasks menu.
2. Select the Threshold Configuration tab.
3. Select the Trait Configuration subtab.
4. In the Fabric Watch Explorer pane, select a class.
5. Under Area Selection, select an area from the list.
This sets the units in the Units field.
The module displays two columns of trait information, labeled “System Default” and “Custom
Defined”. You cannot modify the information in the System Default column.
6. In the Activate Level area, choose one of the following:
• Use the system default settings.
• Click Custom Defined to specify new settings and proceed to the next step.
7. If necessary, select a time to record the event in the Time Base field.
8. Enter the lowest boundary of the normal zone in the Low Boundary field.
9. Enter the highest boundary of the normal zone in the High Boundary field.
10.Enter the size of the buffer zone in the Buffer Size field.
11.Click Apply.
