Area
The temperature area refers to the ambient temperature inside the
switch (in degrees Celsius). Temperature sensors monitor the switch
in case the temperature rises to levels where damage occurs.
The fan area refers to the speed of the fans inside the switch (in
rotations per minute) to be sure they spin quickly enough to keep
the ambient temperature from rising to dangerous levels.
The power supply area monitors whether power supplies within the
switch are on, off, present, or absent. Fabric Watch monitors power
supplies to be sure that power is always available to a switch.

Area
The temperature area measures the physical temperature of the
SFP (in degrees Celsius). A high temperature indicates that you
may need to replace the SFP soon.
The receive performance area measures the amount of
incoming laser (in µwatts) to help you determine if the SFP is in
good working condition. If the counter often exceeds the
threshold, the SFP is deteriorating.
The transmit performance area measures the amount of
outgoing laser (in µwatts) to help you determine if the SFP is in
good working condition or not. If the counter often exceeds the
threshold then the SFP is deteriorating.
The current area measures the amount of supplied current to the
SFP transceiver. Current area events indicate hardware failures.
The voltage area measures the amount of supplied voltage to
the SFP. If this values exceeds the threshold, the SFP is
deteriorating.
