• By default, system monitoring starts on system boot up and runs in the background every three
minutes. You can configure, disable, or enable, the time interval through the CLI; however, if you
define the system monitoring interval at the global level, this value overrides the individual settings.
Valid range for the sysmon timer is 1 to 60 minutes.
• You can define a system monitoring threshold that is defined as N/W, where N is the number of
error events in a specified window (W) of consecutive polling periods. When the threshold is
reached, the action that is defined is performed. The threshold enables the sysmon utility to ignore
random errors that occur because of corrupted data coming in to the device, and perform the action
only for errors generated because of device failure. A threshold of 1/W means no threshold.
• You can choose the log action as either to the internal sysmon buffer or to the syslog. If you choose
the internal sysmon buffer, logs that are written beyond the limit of the sysmon buffer rolls over. On
the other hand, if you choose logging to syslog, messages are sent to the configured syslog
servers.
Configure system monitoring
You can use the following commands at the privileged EXEC level to globally configure the sysmon
utility:
•
disable system-monitoring all
on page 266
•
enable system-monitoring all
on page 266
•
sysmon timer
on page 267
In addition, you can enable or disable system monitoring for each event type from the CLI, with each
event type having separate threshold and log back off values.
disable system-monitoring all
Disables system monitoring at the global level for all types.
Syntax
disable system-monitoring all
Modes
Privileged EXEC mode.
Usage Guidelines
Disabling sysmon at the global level disables any individually configured and enabled sysmon tasks as
well. However, any sysmon configuration that is made, including global and event-specific configuration
are retained.
Examples
The following example disables system monitoring:
Brocade# disable system-monitoring all
enable system-monitoring all
Enables system monitoring at the global level for all event types.
Syntax
enable system-monitoring all
Configure system monitoring
