Threshold alerts
A threshold alert notifies Element Manager users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput
reaches specific values for switch ports or port types [E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports (Edge Switch
2/24 only)].
Select Configure > Threshold Alerts to display the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box. Use
this dialog box to configure criteria for generating a threshold alert. One criteria that you must
configure is a throughput value that equals a specific percentage of the port’s total throughput
capacity. You also provide a time interval during which throughput is measured and a time interval
during which that throughput value must remain constant. When throughput reaches the threshold
value and remains constant for the specified time, an alert is generated.
Threshold alerts occur as the following in the Element Manager:
•
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays on the port in the Hardware View.
•
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays in the Alert column of the Port List View.
•
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays by the Threshold Alerts field in the Port
Properties dialog box.
•
Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.
