Owner's manual

Specifies the number of polling windows. The device polls the internal registers at the
interval specified by the sysmon timer value. Valid values 1-32. However, the polling
window number must be equal or greater than the number of events.
log-backoff
If an error condition persists, it will be continuously logged (internally and/or externally). The
log back-off count skips configured number of logs before logging again. This avoids
overflow of the internal log or of the syslog.
action
Specifies the action to take when a fabric adapter link error exceeds the specified threshold
and log back-off values.
none
No action is taken. This is the default.
syslog
The error is logged to syslog.
Modes
Global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported only on FSX devices.
Examples
The following example configures the sysmon options for fabric adaptor links:
Brocade(config)# sysmon fa link threshold 3 7
Brocade(config)# sysmon fa link action syslog
Brocade(config)# sysmon fa link log-backoff 15
System monitoring for Cross Bar
On FSX devices, errors typically detected in the cross bar include:
• Bad (IP) headers
• Bad length errors
• Reformat errors
Besides the error count, sysmon also checks for connectivity of SFM/XBAR links. This happens at the
interval defined by the sysmon-timer command generally or specifically for cross bar.
Use the following commands to configure and display the statistics of cross bar or switch fabric module:
• sysmon xbar error-count on page 308
• sysmon xbar link on page 309
• show sysmon logs on page 312
• show sysmon counters on page 313
• show sysmon config on page 317
• show sysmon system sfm on page 318
