Using Fabric Watch
3
Continuous Events
A continuous event results in an event at each time interval from when the boundary is initially
exceeded until the threshold value has returned within the boundaries. For example, if port
utilization is above the upper boundary, a new event is generated at each behavior interval until
utilization falls below the upper boundary. The following events can be generated as continuous
events:
Started No alarm is generated.
Below Counter is below the lower boundary.
Above Counter is above the upper boundary.
Exceeded Counter is below the lower boundary or above the upper boundary.
Accompanies a below or above event.
Changed Counter value has changed.
Alarms
Each event can generate one or more alarms. Fabric Watch supports the following types of alarms:
•
SNMP trap
•
Switch event log entry
•
Locking of the port log
•
RAN
•
Email
SNMP Trap
The following information is forwarded to an SNMP management station:
•
Name of the element
•
Class, area, and index of the threshold
•
Type of event generated
•
Element value
•
New state of element
Error Log Entry
The internal error log maintains a record of the event, up to a maximum of 64 entries. If configured
to do so, error log entries are forwarded to the SYSLOGD facility.
Locking the Port Log
Locking the Port Log freezes the switch port log to retain detail information about a problem. It is
typically used in conjunction with the error log entry.
