Figure 104 Fabric Watch module (with Alarm Notification tab displayed)
The Fabric Watch navigation tree, on the left side of the module, displays the available classes. The classes
are organized in a set of folders. Not all classes are available for all switches.
Use the Fabric Watch module if you want to:
• Configure custom threshold values on particular elements.
• Place limits on the acceptable values of those elements and enable the custom limits (configure
threshold boundaries).
• Choose whether and how Fabric Watch alerts you to errant values (configure alarms).
• Choose whether and how frequently Fabric Watch identifies unacceptable values (configure threshold
traits).
