MAPS policies

User-defined policies
MAPS allows you to define your own policies. You can create a policy and add rules to it, or you can
clone one of the default policies and modify the cloned policy. For information on configuring a
user-defined policies, refer to
“Configuring a MAPS policy” on page 1353.
Fabric Watch legacy policies
You cannot return Fabric Watch once you activate MAPS (or migrate to MAPS).
When you migrate from Fabric Watch to MAPS, three policies are automatically created:
•
fw_custom_policy
Contains all of the monitoring rules based on the custom thresholds configured in Fabric
Watch, even if the rules have the same parameters as the default rules.
•
fw_default_policy
Contains all of the monitoring rules based on the default thresholds configured in Fabric
Watch.
•
fw_active_policy
Contains all of the monitoring rules based on the active thresholds in Fabric Watch at the time
of the migration.
The following factors also apply to Fabric Watch conversions:
•
Converted active Fabric Watch policies reference either custom or default fabric watch rules.
•
Converted custom Fabric Watch policies reference either custom or default fabric watch rules.
•
Fabric Watch rule conversions use the following rule name formats:
-
“_LBC” suffixes are changed to “AL” (indicating that it uses an “Above Low” threshold)
-
Converted Fabric Watch rule names will have the threshold number as the suffix. This is
the same pattern as MAPS rules use. For example: defALL_10GLWL_SFPSFP_TEMP_AH
will be changed to defALL_10GLWL_SFPSFP_TEMP_90.
-
Converted rules are prefixed with fw_def_xxx or fw_cust_xxx.
These policies are treated as user-defined policies. You can modify them by adding and deleting
rules, and you can delete the policy.
