Fabric tracking
When you discover a new fabric and initial discovery is complete, fabric tracking is automatically
enabled. Subsequently, if a switch or end-device is added to or removed from the fabric, a plus (+)
or minus (-) icon displays (see table below) next to the product icon. Connections are also tracked.
A new connection displays a solid gray line with a added icon and missing connections display a
yellow dashed line with a removed icon.
When you enable fabric tracking and a switch is missing from the fabric, a warning level call home
event (Switch Switch_WWN is missing from the fabric Fabric_Name) is generated in the Master Log
and a call home alert is sent to the corresponding call center for this event.
To avoid call home events for missing switches, create a call home event filter and clear the 'Switch
is missing from the Fabric' check box in the Available Call Home Event Types table. Once you create
the call home event filter, assign it to the appropriate call center. To create a call home event filter,
