EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric Watch Reference Manual
Introducing Fabric Watch
Fabric Watch software recognizes six types of events. Table 1-6
describes Fabric Watch event types.
Alarms
Fabric Watch software can notify SAN managers of events with a
number of types of alarm.
Switch Event Log Entry The switch event log holds up to 1536 entries. You can configure
Fabric Watch software to forward event log entries to the SYSLOGD
facility. This alarm stores event information for SAN managers, but
does not actively alert SAN managers to events.
SNMP Trap An SNMP trap forwards the following information to an SNMP
management station:
◆ Name of the element involved in the event
◆ Class, area, and index of the threshold
◆ Type of event
◆ Value of the element that exceeded the threshold
