Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite/Fabric Watch widgets

NOTE

MAPS is only supported on a licensed version of the Management application with SAN
management.

NOTE

MAPS is only supported on FC devices running Fabric OS 7.2.0 or later with the Fabric Vision license.

NOTE

MAPS is not supported on DCB devices.

The Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS) is an optional storage area network (SAN) health
monitor that allows you to enable each switch to constantly monitor its SAN fabric for potential
faults and automatically alert you to problems long before they become costly failures.

The widget displays the number of MAPS threshold violations for all network objects (such as ports,
trunks, switches, and circuits) for all MAPS-capable devices.

The widget also includes the Fabric Watch threshold violations for devices running Network OS
3.0.0 or later or Fabric OS 6.4.0 or later with the Fabric Watch license or FC devices running Fabric
OS 7.2.0 or later with the Fabric Vision license, but not migrated to MAPS.
