MAPS structural elements
Description
What MAPS is to do if a condition defined in a rule evaluates to true. For more information, refer to
"MAPS actions"
on page 1347.
A grouping of similar elements that can be monitored (for example, "Security Violations"). For more
information, refer to
"MAPS monitoring categories"
A true/false trigger created by the combination of a time base and a threshold value. For more
information, refer to
"MAPS conditions"
A value that can be monitored. This includes switch conditions, data traffic levels, error messages, and
many other values. For more information, refer to the specific category in
categories"
on page 1337.
An object that can be monitored. This includes FC ports, SFP transceivers, local switch, flow, and other
values. For more information, refer to
A collection of similar objects that you can monitor as a single entity. For example, you can create a
group of E_Ports from different devices to be monitored by the same policies. A flow can be imported
as a group. For more information, refer to
A rule associates a condition with one or more actions that need to occur when the specified condition
is triggered. For more information, refer to
A set of rules defining thresholds for triggering the actions MAPS takes when that threshold is
triggered. When a policy is enabled, all of the rules in the policy are in effect. For more information,
refer to
"MAPS policies"
on page 1344.
