MAPS monitoring categories
33
Resource monitoring category
The Resource category monitors the system RAM, flash, CPU, and memory.
The Resource category uses monitors to perform the following tasks:
•
Configure thresholds for MAPS event monitoring and reporting for the environment and
resource classes. Environment thresholds enable temperature monitoring, and resource
thresholds enable monitoring of flash memory.
•
Configure memory or CPU usage parameters on the switch or display memory or CPU usage.
Configuration options include setting usage thresholds which, if exceeded, trigger a set of
specified MAPS alerts. You can set up the system monitor to poll at certain intervals and
specify the number of retries required before MAPS takes action.
Table 116 lists measures in the Resource category and describes what each measure indicates.
FCIP monitoring category
The FCIP category enables you to define rules for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) health, including
circuit state changes and utilization as well as packet loss.
Table 117 lists measures in the FCIP category and describes what each measure indicates.
Telnet violations (SEC_TELNET) Telnet violations that occur when a Telnet connection request reaches a
secure switch from an unauthorized IP address.
TS out of sync (SEC_TS) Time Server (TS) violations that occur when an out-of-synchronization error
has been detected.
TABLE 116 Resource measures
Measure Description
Temperature (TEMP) Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius.
Temperature sensors monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at
which damage to the switch might occur.
Flash (FLASH_USAGE) Monitors the compact flash space available by calculating the percentage of flash
space consumed and comparing it with the configured high threshold value.
CPU Monitors the CPU available by calculating the percentage of CPU consumed and
comparing it with the configured threshold value.
Memory (MEMORY_USAGE) Monitors the available memory by calculating the percentage of memory consumed
and comparing it with the configured threshold value.
TABLE 117
FCIP measures
Measure Description
FCIP circuit state changes (CIR_STATE) The state of the circuit has changed for one of the following reasons:
•
The circuit has gone offline.
•
The circuit has come online.
•
The circuit is faulty.
FCIP circuit utilization (CIR_UTIL) The percentage of utilization for the circuit at the time of the last poll.
