information recorded since the previous midnight. The historical data log stores the last seven days on
which errors were recorded (not the last seven calendar days, but the last seven days, irrespective of
any interval between these days). If a day has no errors, that day is not included in the count or the
results. Using this information, you can get an idea of the errors seen on the switch even though none
of the rules might have been violated. If you see potential issues, you can reconfigure the appropriate
rule thresholds to specifically fit the switch based on the actual behavior of traffic on the switch. For
more information on historical data, refer to

Notes on dashboard data
• The following dashboard state conditions may be displayed:
‐
No Errors: Displayed if there are no errors for the switch ports, security, fabric, or FCIP
health; for example, if no port has had an error since midnight.
‐
In operating range: Displayed if there are no errors for any of the other categories, or if
there were errors but no rule was triggered.
‐
Out of operating range: Displayed if at least one error triggered a rule belonging to the
category in which this state message appears.
• The dashboard displays data only for days that have errors. If a day does not have any errors, the
dashboard does not include that day in the results.
• CIR_UTIL errors (RX, TX, UTIL) are not displayed in the History Data section unless other errors
are recorded for that day.
• The “Rule Count” value is the absolute number of different violations in that category since the
previous midnight. The “Repeat Count” is the number of times a rule has been violated in the hour,
for example, between 10:00:00 and 10:59:59.
• By default only the last five violations are displayed for each category. However, entering mapsDb
--show all causes the dashboard to display all the rule violations currently stored along with
additional historical data.
Viewing the MAPS dashboard
The MAPS dashboard allows you to monitor the switch status. There are three primary views: a
summary view, a detailed view (which includes historical data), and a history-only view.
To view the status of the switch as seen by MAPS, complete the following steps.
