System monitoring using the sysMonitor command
Use the sysMonitor command to configure temperature and system resource settings at the chassis
level. For detailed information about the sysMonitor command, refer to the Fabric OS Command
Reference .
The following operations are supported by the sysMonitor command:
• Configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring and reporting for the environment and
resource classes. Environment thresholds enable temperature monitoring, and resource thresholds
enable monitoring of flash memory.
Configuration changes are saved persistently to non-volatile storage, but the changes do not take effect
until you execute --apply . The --apply option allows you to toggle between default settings and your
own saved custom configuration and to apply actions and thresholds separately.
• Configure memory or CPU usage parameters on the switch or display memory or CPU usage.
Configuration options include setting usage thresholds which, if exceeded, trigger a set of specified
Fabric Watch alerts. You can set up the system monitor to poll at certain intervals and specify the
number of retries required before Fabric Watch takes action. Configuring thresholds for CPU and
memory does not follow the transaction model of the typical Fabric Watch command. The --apply
and --cancel options are not valid in this context.
When the system crosses any of the limits, SNMP, RASlog, e-mail (or all) messages are generated.
Flash and temperature configuration are at the chassis level. To execute the sysMonitor command,
you must have chassis-level permission in a Virtual Fabrics (VF) environment.
NOTE
Spikes in memory and CPU utilization are normal during the firmware download process and you may
see threshold warning messages while the process is running. After the firmware download process has
completed, memory and CPU utilization should return to normal.
