Monitoring frames for a specified set of criteria
The following example watches for frames in a flow going through a port that contain SCSI ABORT
sequence markers.
switch246:admin> flow --create abtsflow -feature mon -ingrport 128 -frametype abts
switch246:admin> mapsconfig --import abtsflow
You can then define rules for this flow (group).
switch246:admin> mapsrule --create abts_rule -monitor txfcnt -group abtsflow -t min -
ops ge -value 10 -action raslog -policy flowpolicy
Examples of monitoring flows at the sub-flow level
The following examples illustrate some of the ways you might want to monitor flows at the sub-flow
level.
Excessive throughput notification
To be notified of all the Source ID-Destination ID device pairs for which the RX-TX throughput is
greater than a required threshold, you would import a learning flow with both the Source ID and
Destination ID specified as “*” and define a rule to provide the notification, as shown in the following
example.
switch246:FID128:admin> flow -create thruputflow -feature monitor -ingrp 123 -srcdev
"*" -dstdev "*"
switch246:FID128:admin> mapsconfig -import thruputflow
switch246:FID128:admin> mapsrule -create thruputflow_thput_10 -group thruputflow -
time hour -m RX_THRUPUT -op ge -v 10 -a RASLOG,EMAIL
Possible bottleneck notification
To determine which Source ID-Destination ID device pairs have an “abort frame” count that exceeds a
specified limit (and consequently cause network bottlenecking), you would import a learning flow that
monitors the SCSI Abort notifications with both the Source ID and Destination ID specified as “*” and
define a rule to provide the notification, as shown in the following example.
switch:admin> flow -create frmcntflow -feature monitor -egrp 234 -srcdev "*" -dstdev
"*" -frametype abts
switch:admin> mapsconfig -import frmcntflow
switch:admin> mapsrule -create frmcntflow_framecnt_1000 -group frmcntflow -time hour
-m TX_FCNT -op ge -v 1000 -a RASLOG,EMAIL
