3. Configure the threshold alert using other perf.thresholdalert
commands. For example, you may want to associate the threshold
alert counter with the threshold alert name using the
perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.setCounter command, described on
2-123. Use the following commands to view alert settings and
configure an alert:
• perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.removePort on page 2-122
• perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.setCounter on page 2-123
• perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.setParams on page 2-124
• perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.show on page 2-125
• perf.threshholdAlerts.counter.showStatisticTable on page 2-126
4. Once the alert is fully configured, it can be activated using the
perf.thresholdAlerts.setState command, described on 2-127. An alert
cannot be modified unless it is in the disabled state.
Activating a Throughput Threshold Alert
In order to activate a throughput threshold alert using the CLI, you
must enter certain commands in order. Enable the threshold alert
using the following order:
1. Create a throughput threshold alert using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.addAlert on page 2-129. Use this
command to create a name for the threshold alert that you can use
in subsequent commands. The threshold alert must then be
configured using the other throughput threshold alert
commands.
2. Assign the threshold alert to a port using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.addPort on page 2-130.
3. Identify the throughput statistic that triggers the throughput
threshold alert using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.setUtilType on page 2-132.
4. Identify the percentage of throughput that triggers the
throughput threshold alert using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.setUtilPercentage on page 2-133.
