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.
