Displaying fabric events
Events are displayed for all switches in the fabric in the Fabric Events view (see
). Fabric Events
are not automatically polled. You must click Refresh from the Fabric Events view to poll fabric events.
Switch events are automatically polled every 15 seconds.
Fabric Events can be collected only for switches that have the same security level (http or https) as the
launch switch. For switches that have a different level of security from the launch switch, a message is
displayed at the top of the window that indicates how many switches have no events reported from the last
polling. For detailed information on the switch names and reasons for not polling (if available), click
Details.

on the Fabric Toolbar.
The Fabric Events window opens (see
).
3.
Optional: Click the column head to sort the events by that column. Drag the column divider to resize a
column.

Description
Critical (0)
Critical-level messages indicate that the software has detected serious
problems that will cause a partial or complete failure of a subsystem if not
corrected immediately; a power supply failure or rise in temperature, for
example, must receive immediate attention.
Error (1)
Error-level messages indicate a condition that does not significantly affect
overall system functionality. For example, error-level messages may
indicate time-outs on certain operations, failures of certain operations after
retries, invalid parameters, or failure to perform a requested operation.
Warning (2)
Warning-level messages indicate a current operating condition that should
be checked before it could lead to a failure. For example, a power supply
failure in a redundant system relays a warning that the system is no longer
operating in redundant mode and that the failed power supply needs to
be replaced or fixed.
Info (4)
Information-level messages report the current non-error status of system
components; for example, the online and offline status of a fabric port.
