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.
The following Threshold alerts occur in the Element Manager:
•
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that is displayed on the port in the Hardware view.
•
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that is displayed in the Alert column of the Port List view.
•
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that is displayed by the Threshold Alerts field in the
Port Properties dialog box.
•
Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alerts log.
