Filter-based Monitoring

Filter-based monitoring provides information about a filter's hit count. Any pattern of values in the
first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame can be measured. The counter increases each time a frame
is filtered through the corresponding port. Examples of port filter statistics that can be measured
are:
•
SCSI Read, Write, or Read/Write commands
•
IP vs. SCSI traffic comparison

Performance Monitoring with Web Tools

You can monitor performance using Web Tools, if a Web Tools license is also installed. The
enhanced Advanced Performance Monitoring features in Web Tools provide:
•
Pre-defined reports for AL_PA, end-to-end, and filter-based performance monitoring.
•
User-definable reports
•
Performance canvas for application level or fabric level views
•
Configuration editor (save, copy, edit, and remove multiple configurations)
•
Persistent graphs across reboots (saves parameter data across reboots)
•
Print capabilities

Predefined Performance Graphs

Predefined graphs are provided to simplify performance monitoring. A wide range of end-to-end
fabric, LUN, device, and port metrics are included.
graphs available with both basic and advanced performance monitoring.
