Threshold Alerts
A threshold alert notifies Element Manager users when the transmit (Tx) or
receive (Rx) throughput reaches specific values for director ports or port types
(E_Ports or F_Ports).
To display the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box, click Configure >
Threshold Alerts. 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 appear in the following manner in the Element Manager:
■
An attention indicator (yellow triangle) displays on the port in the Port Card
View.
