perfMonitorClear

perfMonitorClear
Clears counters of end-to-end, filter-based, and ISL performance monitors on a port.
Synopsis perfmonitorclear --class monitor_class [slot/]port [monitorId]
Description Use this command to clear counters for performance monitors on a port, specified by class.
Monitor classes include end-to-end monitors (EE), filter-based monitors (FLT), and interswitch link
monitors (ISL).
Issuing the portStatsClear command on a port clears all end-to-end and filter-based monitors (but
not ISL monitors) for all the ports in the same quad.
Notes The management of Filter Monitors (--class FLT) with this command is being deprecated along
with all other filter-based performance monitoring commands. Management of filter-based
monitors is provided through the new Frame Monitor management interface (fmConfig). While the
legacy commands are still operational in the Fabric OS 6.4.0 release, their use is incompatible with
the new interface. Once you use fmConfig to configure and manage filter-based monitors, you can
no longer use the old commands. The legacy commands and options will be removed in Fabric OS
v6.5.0.
This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and
GbE ports.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Operands This operands are as follows:
--class monitor_class
slot
port
monitorId
Examples To clear statistics counters for an end-to-end monitor:
580
Specifies the monitor class as one of the following: EE (end-to-end), FLT
(filter-based=deprecated), or ISL (interswitch link). These values are
case-sensitive. This operand is required.
For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port on which the
monitor counter is to be cleared, followed by a slash (/).
Specifies the number of the port on which the monitor counter is to be
cleared, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of
valid ports.
Specifies the numeric key of the monitor to be deleted. The key is defined
when a monitor is created and can be displayed with the perfMonitorShow
command. This operand is optional. If no operand is specified, this command
clears all monitor counters of the specified monitor_class on the port. This
operand does not apply to ISL monitors.
switch:admin> perfmonitorclear --class EE 1/2 5
End-to-End monitor number 5 counters are cleared
