Finisar Brocade Fabric Watch Configuring Thresholds and Alarms

3-10 Fabric Watch User’s Guide

Using Fabric Watch

RAJ sends alarm messages to the remote agent proxy server.

Note: The RAN alert is only available if the optional Fabric Access license has been purchased

and turned on.

The Email Alert sends alarms to the corresponding email addresses at run time. The configured

email address applies to all areas within a class. See fwMailCfg in the Fabric OS Reference Guide.

Note: This alert only works with firmware images that supports Web Tools.

Note: Whenever the switch is fastbooted or rebooted the Email alert is disabled. The Email Alert

must be reset after the switch is fastbooted or rebooted.

Configuring Thresholds and Alarms

The configuration of thresholds and alarms can be divided into two categories: threshold values and

threshold area values.

Note: Timebase changes to thresholds in Env and GBIC agents are disabled. Non-factory

timebase settings in configuration files for both of these thresholds will not have any effect.

The factory timebase will be used.

Threshold values apply to the specific threshold. They are not stored in the configuration file, and

return to the default values if the switch is rebooted. The following threshold values can be

modified:

Status Can be enabled or disabled. Enabled by default.

Behavior type Allows setting of the event policy to triggered or continuous. Set to

triggered by default.

Behavior interval The interval between the same type of alarm. Applies only to

continuous events. The default interval is 1 second.
