Error Log Entry

The internal error log maintains a record of the event, up to a maximum of 64 entries. If configured
to do so, error log entries are forwarded to the SYSLOGD facility.

Locking the Port Log

Locking the Port Log freezes the switch port log to retain detail information about a problem. It is
typically used in conjunction with the error log entry.

Email Alert

The Email Alert sends alarms to the corresponding email addresses at run time. The configured
email address applies to all areas within a class. See fwMailCfg in the Fabric OS Reference Guide.

Configuring Thresholds and Alarms

The configuration of thresholds and alarms can be divided into two categories: threshold values and
threshold area values.
Note:

Threshold Values

Threshold values apply to the specific threshold. They are not stored in the configuration file, and
return to the default values if the switch is rebooted. The following threshold values can be
modified:
Status
Behavior type
Behavior interval
