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)].
Click 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.
