Predefined performance graphs

Web Tools predefines basic graph types to simplify performance monitoring. A wide range of
end-to-end fabric, LUN, device, and port metrics graphs are included.
Table 10
graphs.
The advanced monitoring graphs give more detailed performance information to help you manage
your fabric. You can access the basic monitoring graphs on all switches; advanced monitoring
graphs are available only on switches that have a Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring
license activated.

Basic performance graphs
Display description
The performance of a port, in bytes per second, for frames received and
transmitted.
The aggregate performance of all ports on a switch.
The aggregate performance of all ports on a port card. This graph is
available only for the Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S
enterprise-class platforms.
The port throughput, in Gbps at the time the sample is taken. For the
Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms,
this graph displays the throughput for each slot. You can customize this
graph to display information for particular ports.
CRC errors for a given port.
The percentage utilization for each port in a switch. For the Brocade 48000
and Brocade DCX, this graph displays the percent utilization for each slot.
You can customize this graph to display information for particular ports.
The CRC error count between sampling periods for all the ports on a switch.
For the Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class
platforms, this graph displays the CRC error rate for each slot. You can
customize this graph to display information for particular ports.
Advanced performance monitoring graphs
Display description
The traffic between the SID-DID pair on the switch being managed. The
member selection list in the LHS displays the port in the current switch only.
The All Devices tab lists all the devices in the fabric. SID/DID Performance
can be used to select the source and destination. For more information,
refer to
The percentage of SCSI versus IP frame traffic on each individual port. For
more information, refer to
page 112.
The total number of read/write commands on a given port to a specific LUN.
For more information, refer to
page 112.
