Select the Threshold Alerts option on the Configure menu to display the
Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure
criteria for generating a threshold alert. One criteria that you must
configure is a throughput value that equals a specific percentage of
the port's total throughput capacity. You also provide a time interval
during which throughput is measured and a time interval during
which that throughput value must remain constant. When
throughput reaches the threshold value and remains constant for the
specified time, an alert is generated.
Threshold alerts occur as the following in the Product Manager:
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays on the port
in the Port Card View.
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays on the port
card in the Hardware View.
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays in the Alert
column of the Port List View.
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays by the
Threshold Alerts field in the Port Properties dialog box.
• Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.
For detailed procedures to configure threshold alerts, refer to
