sysMonitor
Configures Fabric Watch thresholds for the SFP, fabric, filter, security, and EE monitor classes and
monitors memory and system resources..
Synopsis sysmonitor --config class -area area
sysmonitor --apply class -area area
sysmonitor --cancel class -area area
sysmonitor --show [-class classs][-area area] [[-current_status]| [[-action_level def | cust]
[-thresh_level def | cust]]]
sysmonitor --config mem | cpu
sysmonitor --show mem | cpu
sysmonitor --help
Description Use this command to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring for temperature and
system resources on the switch. The following operations are supported by this command:
•
•
If any configured area exceeds the currently effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch daemon
can take one or more of the following actions:
•
•
•
•
950
[-highthreshold -value value] [-trigger above | below -action actions]
[-lowthreshold -value value][-trigger above | below -action actions]
[-buffer value] [-nosave]
[-action_level def | cust] [-thresh_level def | cust]
[-action_level def | cust] [-thresh_level def | cust]
[-poll polling_interval] [-retry number_of_retries] [-limit high_usage_limit][-action action]
[-high_limit high_limit] [-low_limit low_limit]]
Configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring and reporting for the environment and
resource classes. Environment thresholds enable temperature monitoring, and resource
thresholds enable monitoring of flash memory. This command follows a transaction model.
Configuration changes are saved persistently to nonvolatile storage, but the changes do not
take effect until you execute --apply. The --apply option allows you to toggle between default
settings and your own saved custom configuration and to apply actions and thresholds
separately. You may choose to use default thresholds together with a customized subset of
available actions, or you may modify some of the thresholds and use the default actions. Use
the -nosave option to save the configuration nonpersistently, and use --cancel to remove a
nonpersistent configuration.
Configure memory or CPU usage parameters on the switch or display memory or CPU usage.
Configuration options include setting usage thresholds which, if exceeded, trigger a set of
specified Fabric Watch alerts. You can set up the system monitor to poll at certain intervals and
specify the number of retries required before Fabric Watch takes action. Configuring
thresholds for CPU and memory does not follow the transaction model of the typical Fabric
Watch command. The --apply and --cancel option are not valid in this context.
Send an SNMP message.
Log a RAS log message.
Send an E-mail alert (valid only for the environment and resource class).
Log a port log message (valid only for the environment and resource class).
