Configuring Statistics Threshold Policies

Statistics Threshold Policy

Astatistics threshold policymonitors statisticsabout certain aspects ofthe systemand generatesan event if

thethreshold is crossed. You can set both minimum and maximum thresholds. For example, you can configure

thepolicy to raise an alarm if the CPU temperature exceeds a certain value, or if a server is overutilized or

underutilized.

Thesethreshold policies do not control the hardware or device-level thresholds enforced by endpoints, such

asthe CIMC. Those thresholds are burned in to the hardware components at manufacture.

CiscoUCS enablesyou toconfigure statisticsthreshold policies for thefollowing components:

• Servers and server components

• Uplink Ethernet ports

• Ethernet server ports, chassis, and fabric interconnects

• Fibre Channel port

Youcannot create or delete a statistics threshold policy for Ethernet server ports, uplink Ethernet ports,

oruplink FibreChannel ports. Youcan only configure the existing default policy.

Note

Creating a Server and Server Component Threshold Policy

Thisprocedure documents how to create a server and server component threshold policy on the Server

tab.You can also create and configure these threshold policies within the appropriate organization in the

Policiesnode on the LAN tab, SAN tab, and under the Stats Managementnode of the Admin tab.

Tip

Procedure

Step 1 Inthe Navigation pane, clickthe Servers tab.

Step 2 Onthe Servers tab, expand Servers >Policies.

Step 3 Expandthe node for the organizationwhere you want to create the policy.

Ifthe system does not includemultitenancy, expand the root node.

Step 4 Right-clickThreshold Policies and choose Create Threshold Policy.

Step 5 Inthe Define Nameand Descriptionpage of the Create Threshold Policy wizard, do the following:

a) Complete the following fields:
