FCIP monitoring category
The FCIP category enables you to define rules for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) health, including
circuit state changes and utilization as well as packet loss.
lists measures in the FCIP category and describes what each measure indicates.
Traffic/Flows monitoring category
The Traffic/Flows category groups areas that track the source and destination of traffic and flows.
Use traffic and flow thresholds and alarms to determine traffic load and flow and to reallocate
resources appropriately.
lists measures in the Traffic/Flows category and describes each measure.
TABLE 181
Resource measures
Measure
Description
Temperature (TEMP)
Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius.
Temperature sensors monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at
which damage to the switch might occur.
Flash (FLASH_USAGE)
Monitors the compact flash space available by calculating the percentage of flash
space consumed and comparing it with the configured high threshold value.
CPU
Monitors the CPU available by calculating the percentage of CPU consumed and
comparing it with the configured threshold value.
Memory (MEMORY_USAGE) Monitors the available memory by calculating the percentage of memory consumed
and comparing it with the configured threshold value.
TABLE 182
FCIP measures
Measure
Description
FCIP circuit state changes (CIR_STATE)
The state of the circuit has changed for one of the following reasons:
•
The circuit has gone offline.
•
The circuit has come online.
•
The circuit is faulty.
FCIP circuit utilization (CIR_UTIL)
The percentage of utilization for the circuit at the time of the last poll.
FCIP circuit packet loss (CIR_PKTLOSS) The number of packets routed through a port exceeds the port
bandwidth.
FCIP tunnel packet loss (PKTLOSS)
1
1.
Supports only on Brocade 7840.
Monitors the number of retransmitted packets in the tunnel.
Round trip time (RTT)
1
Monitors the round-trip time of the circuit.
Jitter
1
Monitors the variance in round-trip time of the circuit.
Tunnel utilization (TUNNEL_UTIL)
1
Monitors throughput in the channel.
FCIP Tunnel Status (TUNNEL_STATE)
1
Monitors the tunnel state.
